Actually Children grow up and leave the household so guess who is still stuck with the husband with all this stress???? Yup .. their wives.
"According to the American Psychological Association, women have more symptoms associated with stress, such as fatigue, lack of energy, and anxiety. Women also report having more emotion-related stress, such as feeling like they could cry or lie awake at night due to overthinking.
Most people would think children cause more stress in people’s lives than their spouses, but according to a survey by today.com, 46% of wives say their husbands cause them more stress than children."

That's not at all surprising either 😕 This is definitely the experience of most married women with children from what I have seen.
Yet marriage is framed as something women have to drag men to do
An incompetent lazy husband is a heavy stone around your neck. A parasite sucking the energy and happiness from you mind, body, and soul. Day after day of damage control for his mistakes and watching him watch you suffer while doing nothing to help or change.
Men do less than any time in history.
