Here’s the deal: Men need women more than women need men. In particular, marriage benefits men far more than it benefits women.
Let’s look at some facts:
Single men are more socially isolated and lonely than married men. The opposite is true for women. Single men are also less healthy and happy than married men while single women are healthier and happier than married women. Married men earn more money and live longer than single men. Married women earn less (depending on the study). And marriage extends life expectancy more for men than women.
Women file for divorce 70% of the time in the US even though divorce greatly increases a woman’s chances of ending up a single parent and/or in poverty, but not a man’s. Even still, less than a third of women regret their divorce.
Living alone is far better for women than men. Solo-living women have more time to pursue their hobbies and interests while cohabitating men say the same.
