"What the researchers call "partner conscientiousness" predicts future job satisfaction, income, and likelihood of promotion (even after factoring in the participants' original level of conscientiousness). According to the researchers, "conscientious" partners perform more household tasks, exhibit more pragmatic behaviors that their spouses are likely to emulate, and promote a more satisfying home life, all of which enables their spouse to focus more on work."
"Want to be wealthier? Get married. According to a study published in Journal of Sociology, the net worth of a married person grows approximately 75 percent more during their thirties, forties, and fifties than the net worth of an unmarried person. (That's per person in the relationship, not per couple.)"
"Other data backs up the above findings. A 2021 Census Bureau report found that married adults tend to earn substantially more than unmarried adults, and have three times the net worth. A 2021 Bureau of Labor Statistics survey found that married couples spend about $10,000 less per person than unmarried people. Making more and spending less? Great formula for a higher net worth."
Married individuals see substantially larger net-worth growth — about 75 percent more during their thirties through fifties per person — than unmarried individuals. Marital status correlates with higher income and greater job satisfaction. Partner conscientiousness predicts future job satisfaction, income, and likelihood of promotion even after accounting for individual conscientiousness. Conscientious partners perform more household tasks, model pragmatic behaviors, and create a more satisfying home life that enables their spouse to focus on work. Census data show married adults earn substantially more and hold three times the net worth of unmarried adults, and married couples spend about $10,000 less per person.
