"to" always + "infinitive"?

I read in a book saying
"there are many benefits to remaining a bachelor.",
I thought that "to + infinitive" is always the case.
Anyone could shed some light?
thank you so much

Think about it this way. The basic structure is There are many benefits to something , where something has to be a noun or like a noun. eg There are many benefits to bachelorhood.
