Well, I mostly know younger PhDs, and then established ones in their 40-50s. The younger ones are almost exclusively with other high performers (MDs, lawyers, PhDs, etc), simply because of the demands of the lifestyle. It's hard to explain to someone with a normal job why you need to roll back out to the lab at midnight. I can't say about the people who get married to someone they met after grad school, because I haven't seen it happen yet
The older generation (my boss, etc) seem to be married mostly to saints.
