Is marriage really a financial disaster waiting to happen, or could it be the key to a richer, happier life for men? In this in-depth video, we’re tackling the big question: Is marriage worth it? We’re diving into a fascinating article from the Institute of Family Studies (https://ifstudies.org/blog/debunking-the-ball-and-chain-myth-of-marriage-for-men) , packed with data that challenges the myths keeping guys on the sidelines. Spoiler alert: the numbers might just flip your perspective!

Here’s what you’ll discover:

Money Matters: Married men earn 10-40% more than single men (hello, marriage premium!) and build serious wealth—over $130,000 more than never-married guys. Even after a divorce? You’re still ahead financially. We’ll break down the stats and show you the bar graphs.

Divorce Reality: Yes, 42% of first marriages end, but divorce rates are dropping. Plus, we’ll share the simple habits (stable job, no drugs, emotional effort) that slash your risk.

Sex Life Unveiled: Cohabitating guys might have more frequent sex (52% vs. 42%), but married men win on quality and satisfaction—54% report being "extremely satisfied" physically. Novelty’s overrated; connection’s where it’s at.

Health & Happiness Boost: Married men live nearly 10 years longer, manage illness better, and report way higher happiness (43% vs. 20% for singles). Your wife might just be your secret weapon!

This isn’t just opinion—it’s fact-based research to help you decide: should you opt in or opt out of marriage? One catch: the study focuses on ages 20-39, so we’re missing the 50+ crowd navigating menopause and gray divorces. What do you think—does this data hold up, or is it a load of crap?
