But why get married at all?

Actually, in my experience it's the woman who takes a huge hit. Esp if she's taken time off to help out the family and raise kids, good paying jobs are hard to come by. For example, in the financial war between my parents, my dad is much better off right now. He bought a rolex, a house and a Z4 5 months after settling the divorce. Mom's struggling to make house payments, and her alimony goes away after 7 years. Who is better off? Dad! I've seen it time and again with all my friends parents. It's the reason I'm going to med school, getting a good job and keeping it. I don't want to be dependent on anyone for my income.

The dads are always worse off.
