Some random thoughts as an unreformed male.
A man I know walked up to me the other day and said: If you knew that 60 percent of all airline flights crashed . .would you fly?
I answered: no. Then he said, why would you get married?
And he is right. Also with a guy . . 60 percent of marriages fail and there is an enormous economic cost for the male.
That 60 percent statistic may be generous also because it includes a whole generation that didn't much divorce.
Some of the men i know that have divorced have lost 75 percent of their assets. Thats an expensive committment.
Playing the Devil's Advocate: Why should men want to do that? When we can live with you and treat you with love and affection as long as both parties are loving and affectionate?
A legal relationship like marriage only really kicks in when one or more parties no longer wants to be with the other one but stays anyway because of the marriage committment.
Seriously, religious considerations aside: Why should a man want to marry a women he loves when he already has a great relationship with her . . . after all as long as they love and adore each other they will want to be together.
And why should either party want to keep the other one in a relationship that person no longer wishes to be in?
