[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Statistically married  men live longer and healthier lives than unmarried men. Now is that because they are married or those types tend to get married and take fewer risks. Don't know. [/quote]

But married women live shorter, less healthy lives than their single counterparts.

I think the title should be what do women get out of it. Men I understand. Women are less clear to me.[/quote]

Women used to get shelter, food, security in exchange for childbearing, independence. Now that everbing is an equal partnership? Women get he short end of the stick.

All things being equal
We both make $X
We both have degrees
We both want children

Unless we are adopting ...
Only ONE of us has the physical impairment of pregnancy for an entire year, sometimes two. Not to mention another 12 months offering a milky boob on demand. Then parenting defaults to us because kids prefer mom very often. It’s not equal. It’s at least 90 measurable days out of the workforce where we cannot produce income easily and contribute to 401k, make career moves, etc.

Yet. Everyone leverages something and brings something to the table, each relationship is different.[/quote]
