About Children
- Parental divorce reduces the likelihood that children will graduate from college, and achieve high-status jobs.
About Men
- Married men earn between 10 and 40 percent more than single men with similar education and job histories.
About Women
- Married mothers have lower rates of depression than single or cohabiting mothers.

similar men who never-married or divorced." Of note, co-habitating men had the same results. Apparently being near a woman lowers testosterone.
