[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m actually thinking women have no incentive to get married if they make their own money : who wants to work all day and come home to still take care of the family.[/quote]

We just are pickier about who we marry.

I have a good career and family money. When I married my husband he had potential for a good career but made really low salary for his education level (60k, graduate degree from a top school). I married him because he's great company, kind, smart, and pulls his weight. He cooks, cleans, keeps the kids busy when I need quiet to work, and coordinates home maintenance. I didn't marry him for his ability to 'provide' but now he makes much more than he did previously (and more than me in terms of income), but he still chips in plenty with household work and we outsource where we can.

I would not have married someone who expected me to come home and take care of everything, and I had the financial freedom to be picky. We are also now financially much better off than either of us would be individually, and we have a lot of fun together.

It was never just about the money or security, he makes my life brighter.[/quote]
