1. Very little. We split bills by ratio of income, but pass that, it's her money not mine.
2. Using census and CDC data, we are both above average as far as physical fitness, me more so than her.
3. Marriage is excellent.
4. Yes 5. No (And there was ample opportunity, we were a dual enlisted marriage when we were in our respective services) and 6. Yes.
Now about that data.
Where does it come from, and what measure were taken to develop it? How rigorous were those studies? Can you cite the papers? How deep did you get into the methodology? Sample size and such. Was it controlled across race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, etc, etc.
Because I actually don't particularly buy into some very poorly supported assumptions made by a collection of cherry picked "research" that have sample sizes of "two dozen college kids." Or "The 30 people we could get to pick up the phone."
It is not terribly difficult to believe that someone could find themselves in the trades because of their military experience, and someone else could find themselves in tech because of their military experience and still have a happy and healthy functioning marriage on the other end of it.
And I have found that when you dig into a lot of these research, it comes up rather thin, at best.

@HosCreates Those apprenticeship times are regional, and vary from state to state, but yeah there's definitely a training time for them.
Law enforcement requires an academy, But I make roughly what your spouse does as an officer in the Metro Atlanta area. I have a degree, but one is not required. I literally worked beside people who are 22 years old who started this career with no further education, two people in their 50s with Masters degrees.
Sanitation, also requires no previous training. Pay is less than what I'm making now, but it is a living wage in the Metro Atlanta area.
However plumbing, electrical, carpentry, and HVAC all will outpace my pay scale over tiime.
