[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do women still want to be married?
[b]Most married women playing on this forum are unhappy[/b]. And if we extrapolate to most women in this country marriage seems to be a loosing proposing for women. Yet so many women still dream of walking down the aisle. Why is that? Is it mostly for the legal, financial and medical benefits? Or is it an immense feeling of pride to be someone's else wife?[/quote]

In general with anything you are more likely to get complaints than praise. Also, maybe I am cynical but I always think the over the top FB praise about spouses are either because they are currently on the struggle love bus and want to present a different picture or they think they are on a different route now and that’s why they are over the top.  Someone that is happy now and has been in the past wouldn’t necessarily feel the need to brag and can read the room that other people might find it annoying.

As to why women still want to be married, I will ask my Gen Z college kids. I still think with the right partner, you can build wealth together, have inherent legal protections, and have someone that is legally family in a way that would need to be more intentional if you wanted all those things  with a partner but didn’t want to get married.  Now if you don’t want those things with your partner or more importantly you think you would be working at cross purposes on those things, it would definitely be better not to marry.  I don’t include being there in sickness as well as health because there are numerous studies that men are more likely to leave sick wives than vice versa so I don’t know how much marriage over long term serious partner makes a difference there.
