You don't need to be married to obtain those things. In fact, I would argue those things are better without being married.

That’s the fantasy isn’t it? Except it is a very stupid woman who would do wife duties for a man who didn’t marry her. Just be single, you really will be happier.

Being single and celibate are not the same thing?

And ‘wife’ duties are being the unpaid cook, cleaner, chauffeur, AA partner, and nag. You don’t have to do any of those things just to have sex.

DP.

Many women will do those things even if they just want sex. Women are too empathetic for their own good. Lol

I mean it depends.
I am lucky we have a house that is almost paid for, 2 kids and a dog. I work and my husband stays home.
He does laundry, meal planning, dishes, bathroom clean up. The kids help with trash and I cook, vacuum and mow the lawn.
We have OBX vacations yearly with maybe Europe once every 5 years or so. We have sex regularly and he is my closest friend.
For me, it is a good deal right now. There are times I have questioned everything and times were it has clicked. I never felt really passionate about him, but I got burned once that way and didn’t want that kind of relationship again. I wanted a life partner and that is who I married.
Is it the best marriage? Probably not. Is it the worst? Absolutely not. In the end I would rather be with him than by myself.

No. Even if you want kids. There is no guarantee you’re going to get a guy who will be a good dad

No children? It's probably not worth it: just be boyfriend and girlfriend.

On this I agree - particularly cause children are the only way to get a really solid deduction as a MC person. Now if you divorce, you lose that anyway. So it’s a toss up.

It's probably worth it if you want children.

Right.

Great husband>no husband>average husband>crappy ex-husband>crappy husband.

It's certainly not worth it for men.

Marital privilege, if you plan on committing a crime, and telling someone about it...

False sense of security

Do women even need to marry anymore? What are the benefits of this institution anyway?
