Married women reporting lower happiness is likely not fully explained by them being more likely mothers. A United States study found that mothers with a male partner sleep less and do more housework than single mothers. The reasons for this were not determined, however another study showed that husbands create about seven hours of extra housework a week for their wives.<ref name="yale"></ref> | Married women reporting lower happiness is likely not fully explained by them being more likely mothers, and crucially | ||

These findings might point to modern marriages being more of an [[evolutionary mismatch]] for women than for men. For example, more women than men have lived in households with a [[harem]]. Further, women used to primarily take care of the household and childrearing, but nowadays they have an additional burden of a high inclusion in the workforce, and hence additional housework caused by the husband ends up being overwhelming. Thirdly, household chores and childrearing tasks used to be shared by elderly women and the daughters, and perhaps close friends within the community, whereas in today's very small and isolated families, women are more on their own in addition to having to work. All these observations are in line with women's happiness having declined over the recent decades.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill_(Supplemental)#Self-rated_female_happiness_has_been_declining_since_the_1970s_in_the_US</ref> | These findings might point to modern marriages being more of an [[evolutionary mismatch]] for women than for men.
