Supply and Demand: A Look at Marriage

The supply and demand model is very robust and can be used to shed insight on marriage and relationship markets.

I thoroughly enjoyed this as I'm quite fascinated by the modelling of households/families/marriage market. One question: why is the supply of women determined by whether she receives resources and not whether she gives them as well? Specifically, most care service and domestic work is provided by women especially in marriage - women often sacrifice time and careers in marriage to also raise children. How do you account for this in the model? Also, in the instance of a decrease in the supply of women, other factors may contribute to how men respond? I'm thinking the men on Faroe island vs fundamentalist religious sects who kick out young men. These are just some initial thoughts. And thank you for providing potential research questions at the end!
