Don't read it as "a" woman, but as "the" woman (in this three line story). Not every man has the same goals/motivation as the man in the story either. I know I'm not money-motivated.

Well, statistically, and historically, that has been the case.

Whether it shouldn't be or not, is another matter, but men don't buy Wedding magazines or care to watch rom-coms ending with marriages as much.

I think it's more about the high level of happiness, not the specific situation.
