[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A man should spend an amount that is about equal to the amount his woman spends on her engagement gift to him.

In marriage, both partners are 100% equal, right?[/quote]

The woman should give birth to as many babies as she does.  The man should pay as much for the wedding as the bride and bride's family does.  [/quote]

so the fact a woman can give birth (but man can't) earns her a ring? Also I've yet to see any woman make her own baby without a man's help so his sperm contribution isn't worth a gift for him too?

As for wedding costs: basically i agree costs should be shared and in many cases this does occur when husbands family pays for things like reversal dinner and honeymoon.   But regardless the ceremony itself is far more another gift for the bride versus anything the man would (independently) care much about

In other words your examples do not equalize things in the least. [/quote]

Also for the record the bride's dress is often the same cost as a rehearsal dinner.  The rehearsal dinner and a honeymoon does not add up to the cost of the wedding.  [/quote]
