“What I am telling you is that there are no guarantees and your sweet, reasonable honey who loves you to death may decide she wants out of the marriage and turn into a monster once she has a lawyer whispering in her ear during the divorce.”
Awesome posting. Keep in mind, at least with US-born women, it’s not just the lawyer, it’s also her siblings (particularly sisters), her friends, her co-workers, and likely others who she knows. The guy never has a chance.
The first step for men who want their marriage to last is to marry into a culture that VALUES MARRIAGE, which means, sadly, a non-US and non-Western culture. Lots of options out there though...

In my situation, my FIL and I got along great. The MIL, on the other hand, always complained that I wasn't working in a higher up financial institution (stock market/bank)... I have always suspected she had a lot to do with my ex cheating.
