[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I honestly don't understand why people with earning potential get married any more. You can have kids without marriage and you don't get tied to someone under terrible contract terms.[/quote]

Why would you have a kid with someone who will not marry, support you and make a life long commitment?  [/quote]

There are plenty of people who are willing to have kids with people they don't marry. And frankly, it logically makes sense. Marriage is legally an amorphous contact where the state can change the terms at any point.

Marriage rates among the "good catch" crowd are dropping, and pre-nups are now commonplace when there is a marriage. There is an increasing understanding of how it is essentially a bad contract, especially for people with good earning potential. [/quote]

+1. I think it only works with the traditional model. When a woman works, it is a horrible contract and anyone who can support themselves should not enter into it[/quote]
