Get married for potential divorce benefits? What a screwed up bitter view. You should go on, somewhere into reality. I think you're trolling now-- one normally only gets child support and spousal support if they have less than the other person.
Spousal support is often time limited. I had a co-worker who had 3 years to get some training and improve her economic prospects, and she did just that with the time. Had she farted around the support would have ended anyway. It made sense because she had been a mostly SAHM for about 20 years, and this gave her 3 years to catch up a bit. Her ex was a small contractor and not wealthy, but he didn't suffer under the arrangement either.

Thank you for using the term spousal support, instead of alimony, and yes that sounds fair. Who wants to deal with any of that anyway.
Over 50% of all marriages end in divorce! It happens!
How many people on CD are still married to their first mate? Exactly!
So to stick with the thread if you want to avoid all the pitfalls of a committed relationship then by all means just hang out with a friend who will have sex with you.
Most people can't even commit to purchasing a car nowadays! They would rather lease it and give it back in a couple years before things start breaking or wearing out. Hmmm, seems to be a trend here that bleeds into relationships too.
Oh, for the record I have been married for almost 20 years to my first and only wife if anyone is thinking how do I know. Yeah, I know.

Glad you are an expert.
And, seriously, 5 years to become proficient in pleasing one's partner? Someone must be a slow learner.

It's a win win for her in my opinion. Whether the marriage is successful or not. Either way it works out for her. The guy... Not so much. Again, in my opinion.
Yes, it is a bitter view but it's reality. It's my opinion having gone through it.
Personally I don't think the majority of guys would commit to something but rather keep the car running and the door cracked. They have seen the calamity. Again IMO
The majority of first marriages do not end in divorce. The rate reached its peak in the early 80s and has been dropping since. It never reached 50%.
That's probably true but look at how many people just shack up. Marriage probably is declining from the lack there of. They made 'common law marriages' for those who just wanted to live together.
At any rate it's bad.
