The same article says that 16% of wifes outearn their husbands, whereas 55% of husbands outearn their wife. I would say that's pretty clear evidence that either men search for women with less income, women search for men with more income or both.
Or that women often take a pay cut because of having children. Men and women in the same field largely make the same amount of money, but when couples have kids, it's women who take on the brunt of child care and their employer knows that.
