Iowa Divorce Lawyer has a blog post on a study that shows that brilliant scientist’s achievements waned after they got married:
Within five years of making their nuptial vows, nearly a quarter of married scientists had made their last significant contribution to history’s hall of fame. “Scientists rather quickly desist (from their careers) after their marriage, while unmarried scientists continue to make great scientific contributions later in their lives,” says Dr. Kanazawa.
If you’re an average married man, though, no need to despair. Studies show that married men earn 11% more than their unmarried counterparts.
