Marriage is a jail. I am glad that I´ve escaped from there and it seems like a wonder to me that I have survived it.

In a modern Western society it seems less and less necessary. And for males in particular there seems to be less and less of an Up side. I would be interested in male thoughts on that.

@whowasthatmaskedman The upside is the same there ever was. If you want to have a real family, that’s generally the necessary step.

@QuixoticSoul True.. And I believe its the "real family" that is being redefined.

@whowasthatmaskedman Sorta. Single parenthood sucks and everyone realizes this. It’s generally an accidental state.
And in committed relationships, marriage is a hedge against the inevitable career sacrifices one parent tends to have to make.
Basically the benefit remains the same as always - good smart women rarely want to have children without protections of marriage. So men who want to have families with women of quality get married.

I had a bad first marriage years ago. But I have been married (very happily I might add) a second time for the past 13 years and I wouldn't trade it...or her...for anything or anyone in the world. I have not had a single regret nor have I seen/experienced a single downside.
