It’s not a view.
Marriage IS a horrible deal for men. Any way you look at it.
I went to the Philippines for mine, and some people wonder why.
I am 67 years old. I got married 36 years ago to the greatest woman alive. I don’t know what I would do without her. If I had my way I would be married to her for 136 years. I am the lucky one. We have 3 of the greatest children. I have been blessed beyond my widest dreams.
I beg to differ. A good marriage is still as good as ever. It is just that bad and short marriages are becoming the norm. There are still good people who find each other and marry and will stay married. Human nature never changes. Just culture changes.
But you are not entirely wrong. I would say most new marriage today are a horrible deal for most men. They won’t last and the man will get the raw end of the deal. The thing is, the women lose as well.
It is a nice perk for 2 people earning money in the work place to pay 1 mortgage or 1 rent bill, 1 TV bill, 1 internet bill, etc. All those common goods and services that a couple can share really go a long way toward economizing life. When they divorce, they both lose, just the man tends to lose bigger than the woman.
