If you follow self-proclaimed masculinity coaches, such as Andrew Kibe, you've heard that educated women are unable to take care of their husbands and are more likely to divorce. 

Additionally, you might have heard that marriages involving educated couples do not last compared to those of lesser-educated individuals.

Proponents of these erroneous theories argue that educated individuals are more egoistic and are unable to respect each other. Similarly, educated women are accused of being unable to submit to their husbands.

These theories usually stem from ignorance and disdain for education. However, education has positive outcomes in every aspect of life.

For example, educated people live longer, make more money, and are less likely to commit crimes, be incarcerated, or contract sexually transmitted diseases.

Similarly, according to science, higher education for both partners correlates to stronger and more lasting marriages. 

Additionally, the wife's education has more positive outcomes for the marriage than the husband's. Thus, the phrase "If you educate a woman, you educate society" was never misinformed.

Firstly, contrary to popular belief, more educated people are less likely to divorce than their lesser-learned counterparts.

According to a study by the Monthly Labor Review, "The chance of a marriage ending in divorce was lower for people with more education."

The study found that "over 50 percent of marriages of those who did not complete high school" ended in divorce "compared with approximately 30 percent of marriages of college graduates."

Another study by the University of Texas researcher Betsey Stevenson, PhD, found that although college-educated women are less likely to marry than uneducated ones, they're also less likely to divorce.

According to the study, college-educated women are "less likely to divorce, so that by age 40, they are MORE likely to be married than other women, many of whom have already divorced" by that age.

Thus, one way of increasing the likelihood of success in marriage is by marrying a college-educated woman.

Education generally leads to longer lives for both men and women. 

Researchers Erikson and Torssander analyzed census data for more than 1.5 million men and women aged between 30 and 59 years and their cause of death. They found that men without a high school education had 10% more chances of dying than college-educated men.

Similarly, the Population Bulleting attributed higher education to longer lifespans regardless of gender.

“As this Population Bulletin has described, individuals in the United States who are more highly educated live longer lives, on average, and strong evidence suggests that educational attainment serves as a fundamental cause of health and life expectancy.”

Similarly, marriage increases the lifespan of men, with married men living longer than bachelors. 

However, men who marry educated wives live longer than those who marry "uneducated" women, regardless of their own education status. 

Thus, the wife's education contributes to a longer lifespan for the husband, even more than his own education.

Additionally, living with a wife without a high school education increased the chances of mortality by 1.25%.

Subsequently, choosing between an uneducated and educated wife impacts your lifespan.

According to a study by Kremer et al., children with behavioral challenges perform poorly at school despite schools’ best attempts to help them achieve academic success.

Behavioral challenges include violence, rebelliousness, delinquent behavior, or criminal tendencies.

According to the researchers, these behavior challenges "have severe repercussions for the school and life outcomes of these youth."

While many people can overcome childhood rebelliousness, most progress to adulthood. These behavioral problems could negatively affect the success of the marriage.
