Notice that female-female families greatly outnumber male-male families. This might mean that the slightly better average family cohesion numbers etc might be due to the greater availability of female nurturing in the female-female homes.

It's possible that male-female families compare favorably when the mother doesn't work and is available for nurturing and bonding. Of course they'd never admit that. It would go against their ideas about what it means to be a successful woman.
