Starting from marriage, men are changing to the less manly direction. But there is a confounding factor: higher testosterone level or sensitivity causes specific distance from family care, so it stays high longer.

Personally, I experienced a 10% drop in my 1rep max in squat after each of my two children.

"Starting from marriage, men are changing to the less manly direction."

Ha ha, I started perhaps already farther on the Femine spectrum such that marriage pulled me more toward the "Masculine" end—feeling now obliged to "win the bread" for another.

(When it was just me I could indulge all my selfish, artistic whims…)

That behaviour was probably more due to psycho-social reasons that biological which regressed, but sure the net effect pushed you more to the one pole.

Yah. But did you skip leg day to take your lady to the hospital ?

[tsoukase]

At those two days I skipped it, but the rest I trained at the squat rack in my basement after every night feed of them.

Respect.
