Early 30s with newborn.

Now ask me, with 20 years of marriage and teens.

Or don't ask, because you won't like the answer.

PP you replied to.

A. Men want what women want. Security, and not have too much trouble. Of course there tends to be gendered preferences (beauty in women, money in men), but mostly, people don't want trouble. If there are health issues, professional issues, problematic mental health behaviors, kids with special needs, elders who need care, then the bond you have can evaporate quickly in recrimination and conflict, because it's too stressful. And it's 100% certain you will have issues! You can't easily tell who will have the most rock-solid tolerance to stress when you're just starting out, or who will get triggered with what particular stress.

B. Also, what men and women want may not be what they need! Because most of us when young aren't that self-aware. Often we get exactly what we want, because we worked and looked for it, and then we realize later it wasn't what we needed.

So all in all, it's pretty much a crapshoot. I think the people who come out of it happy are: people born with brain chemistry that tend towards happy already, instead of depressed; and people who work very hard to see the glass half full instead of half-empty.
