As a married woman, I think men do. Men have all their needs met basically: they are constantly fed, with clean clothes, frequent sex/lovemaking, & if they have a good relationship with their wives, then their needs are basically met.
I think women benefit less, & benefit more from divorce. Women have to do a lot of cleaning, cooking, caring for children, multitasking, having to look good, etc. for their husbands....
Let's simplify it, and say there are no kids. It's a child-free couple. Does anyone reap more benefits? Or are they equal? And who's responsible for divvying up the chores, to make things fair? Who makes that decision? OP sounds like it's a given that one person will have a 2nd job homemaking, in addition to the wage-earning job.
My husband and I both win. we have gone through many changes over the past 18 years. Sometimes I am more content/happier and sometimes he is, depending on our work and extended family issues.
We are both lucky to have each other. If you find a compatible spouse that loves you, everyone benefits.

Of course, this is just my opinion...

My buddy must be the exception then, he is in a miserable marriage, he gets no action, has his wife's parents living with them, pretty much has no privacy and they just had a baby so he is not benefiting at all, I feel sorry for him. He is just stuck between a rock and a hard place

Do you consider yourself to be in a good marriage? It certainly doesn't sound like it. If my wife had made this post I would be worried about our future together.
Men and women should equally benefit from a marriage because it is an equal partnership. DontH8Me said it's 100/100 and I agree. I got that same saying from my Grandfather, who will be celebrating 60 years with his wife this November.
That is why they say, "Choose wisely and treat kindly."
