Health insurance a spouse can go on the other's that has a better one.

There are good financial reasons to be married. Besides love. Companionship. Yes I think marriage is for people who are also not so greedy of themselves. Know how to share, take turns, and care for the well being of the other.
I can't rep you again but I would if I could!

Do you see my point? Most men love their wives and I loved my ex-wife very much. What we don't like is having the law of the land tell us that, in the event of a divorce, we will be legally and financially bound to spend the rest of our lives beholding to some women that is no longer our wife. Marriage is a raw deal for men from a legal and financial stand point. It has nothing to do with our feeling towards our wives.
Why do you think your decisions, personality, values, and worldview should play a role in how her husband views their marriage?

And those who? What I don't understand about you and a number of men on this forum is how you think marriage is one size fits all. You are not capable of having the marriage I have and I would not be capable of having whatever marriage you would have. Marriages are as different and varied as are individuals. So, as completely and entirely different you and I are, so would be our marriages. What's sacred for you, would not be sacred for me, vice/versa. And I mean this as a general you, general me, etc.

I can't be arsed to click the link. I would end up falling through a hole in that study. Of course, married people are better than unmarried people.

I don't see anyone saying that although you have repeatedly insinuated that you think you are better than married people and people who have children. I don't really think of people in terms of being better or worse than anyone else. What's the point?

It would do you well to stop competing as this is a matter of apples vs chocolate cake. Be content with your choices and life.

He may be one of those people that cannot feel right unless he thinks the guy next to him is wrong; cannot be happy unless the guy next him is sad, etc.
