This falls under the Explanation #2: Human capital. By the way, the post does not mention whether the study controlled for wives staying at home.

Except for the detail that the article entirely credits the man with being more productive and in no way whatsoever suggests that his wife's work in any way whatsoever contributes to it:

Maybe marriage makes men work more hours; maybe it makes them work harder per hour; maybe it makes them control their tempers better; maybe all of these and more.

It gives zero credit to the wife somehow genuinely enhancing his life by cooking, cleaning, having sex with him, etc. It just suggests that married men choose to be more virtuous. Done.

Yeah, the omission of unpaid female labor at home as a factor to consider is glaring.

Thank you.
