    Health Nerd Retweeted Dr. Alduan Tartt

    Married epidemiologists sigh internally and ask people to look up confounding before trusting random statistics they find onlinehttps://twitter.com/DrTartt/status/1430480817243951106 …

    Married men make 9-13% more money over a lifetime than single men with the same profession. Having a loving wife is good for your wealth my brothers. “He who finds a wife, finds a good thing AND gains favor from the Lord.”

        I don't even know which study this is referencing but I'd be extraordinarily surprised if you could adequately control for the myriad of factors to get a good estimate of the marginal benefit of only marriage (and not social factors that play into marriage) on income

        Oh hey, here's a paper from 1991 that argued that residual confounding was likely to explain the wage gap between married and unmarried menpic.twitter.com/BTCtZp2Edo

        100% of divorces happened to married people. The science is undeniable!

        I wonder if the same statistics show that married women live less, because of the double workload (take care of the house, children and their own jobs)

        Plus take care of a man child they married. It's significantly less work to single parent than it was to be with my ex.

        How do you select for the free labour men get out of marriage that women are supposed to spontaneously just do? Nobody enjoys menial tasks like cooking, laundry, cleaning, and keeping track of birthdays and social calendars.

        There's a large sociology of the family literature on this. People still genuinely dispute whether there's no effect or a quite modest effect (independent of confounding), but it's certainly not a 9-13% premiumhttps://doi.org/10.1177%2F0003122418784909 …
