Marriage benefits men more than women.

Both benefit equally in common areas like sex, companionship and shared work load. Husbands experience better overall health (live longer than if single), whereas a woman’s greatest single gain is in money. Marriage will make both men and women richer because they become more efficient in all areas of life! Two living together will not only save significantly by eliminating redundant expenses, but because of increased efficiency, make more money than they do living separately. Long-lasting marriages, some people suggest, is not a cause of financial success, but an effect alongside of financial success. But the truth is that even taking this factor and the eliminating of redundant expenses into account, the institution of marriage itself provides a “wealth-generation bonus”. This bonus is above and beyond all other factors. Studies have shown, for example, that married men earn incomes 10-40% higher than their single counterparts.
