Q&A: “Marriage Strike”; cutting off your nose to spite your face?
Question by Killer Tomato: “Marriage Strike”; cutting off your nose to spite your face?
“Marriage helps people to generate income and wealth.
Compared to those who merely live together, people who marry become economically better off. Men become more productive after marriage; they earn between ten and forty percent more than do single men with similar education and job histories. Marital social norms that encourage healthy, productive behavior and wealth accumulation play a role. Some of the greater wealth of married couples results from their more efficient specialization and pooling of resources, and because they save more. Married people also receive more money from family members than the unmarried (including cohabiting couples), probably because families consider marriage more permanent and more binding than a living-together union.”

I am married and haven’t got a pot to pee in, so there goes your study.
Married men, I have read, also tend to be healthier and show less incidence of depression.
Married women, however, tend to show higher rates of depression than single women.
You talking about the time where there wasn’t widespread feminism, on demand abortion and no fault divorces just like in America in at least 50 years ago where women where are like the ones in the Good Wife Guide in Housekeeping Monthly in 1955.
Nowadays, if a man want the benefits of marriage, he should seek and expat to countries with traditional, feminine women with family and male friendly cultures like in many developing countries(which by the way, some are pretty well off due to oil and other natural resources they now earn greatly).
