Marrying for money isn't exactly a recent concept...

This.

Is there any benefit at all for a man getting married btw?

[megan.c]

You do realise that the man isn't always the principle earner nowadays?

Marriage has always been a business contract of sorts, these days though it benefits the woman mostly and there is almost no constraints to them for breaking it.

In fact as you say, breaking the contract actually seems to reward them.

I'm still hoping marriage law will be reviewed and changed so as to make it fair again, and actually worthwhile for staying in, as is I have no plans to marry.

Can someone give me one good reason for a man to marry?

I actually do want to marry but under the current system there's no way I will.

[Unknown?]

Indeed it is. These filthy gold diggers will use their charms to entice a poor man who worked hard for his cash all his life to marry her only so she can steal his wealth.

Wow, I was planning on marriage, kids & being a stay at home mum but it seems less and less likely with the attitudes some young men have towards marriage!

Yes it's definitely our fault.

Give me one reason why a man should get married today?

I actually want to, but that won't happen when there's every chance I could be taken for an idiot and lose half my stuff (and kids). Blame the women who take advantage of the men, not the men who don't want to take the risk of marriage.

The only risk smart people take is a calculated risk. Marriage does not benefit the man one bit yet you could lose half of everything. Why do it?

No because there are plenty of men who will give marriage a chance, probably not on the internet mind you.

Tbh I am looking at it selfishly, if I don't get married but have kids & be a stay at home mum anyway then my partner & I split up, then i'll be left with nothing. No job, no savings, no work history for x amount of years, i'll probably get custody of the kids so i'll only be able to work part time, thats if anyone will want to hire a single mum, it will be difficult to find love again as lots of people don't give single parents a chance.

I see where you're coming from but I have to think about myself you know?

Getting married as a safety net and not for love. Marriage is a joint commitment but you're admitting you'll do it for yourself lol.

I hope all you men who want to get married are reading this.

I disagree with you WOMEN. Men have always earned more then females have . If a man can't afford to feed his family he isn't a MAN he is a BOY who knocked someone up!

Wow i'm surprised you seen it that way. I'll only get married to someone I truely love, I want to quit working so I can support my husband and children from home but obviously I don't know for sure if that will be possible in the future which is why i'm going to university and getting a good job - THAT is my safety net.

I would never rot away in a loveless marriage it would be awful.

To be fair I'm just taking what you said and using it against you.

You mentioned this:

If you ever did end up in that situation, that'd be your own fault, your husband shouldn't have to lose out because of your life choices, surely?

Because I want to be a stay at home mum, but I have absolutely NO idea what my future will be like. I might never find love, I might find someone who doesn't want to get married (I doubt I would stay with them). We might not be able to afford to live on one income so i'll have to keep working (so the whole savings/work history won't apply).

Like you said, marriage is a joint commitment, so while my husband would work and bring in money, I will look after the house, my husband, my children, support my family emotionally. I WANT to be a stay at home mum it doesn't mean I will!

[Sazzy890]

No, I don't think everyone marries for money. When I get married I will be getting married for love. I also don't think it's fair to say that only women do this, I'm sure there are some scheming men out there who go after wealthy women for their money too.

[Schroedinger's Pandora]

I fully intend on earning more than my partner and being the breadwinner of the family.. Does it just work one way around?

Nope, not a single benefit.


50% of marriages end in divorce
70% of divorces are initiated by women
97% of alimony is paid by men


Marriage is slavery. When you sign that contract, you are selling your soul to the state. Any woman who refuses to admit how men get screwed over in court and are denied access from seeing their kids is a heartless golddigger.
