It is a repeatedly proven scientific fact that married* men live longer lives than single men, and married* women live shorter lives than single women.
A popular hypothesis from this fact is that on average married men have less stressful lives than single men, and single women have less stressful lives than married women. It may be interpreted that overall women look after men better than men look after women. This speculation is not important to your point. What is important is that a man with a family to provide for is overall less stressed, and more healthy than a man alone with no family to provide for.
