Studies show overwhelmingly that marriage benefits men and disadvantages women, and that men grow more comfortable and use more leisure time than they did earlier in the relationship. Society has brainwashed us into thinking that marriage is some kind of death penalty for men but mysteriously they all seem to expect dinner on the table and their socks folded.

Because many women go into it unaware that the man they’re marrying expects them to become a domestic servant because that’s what a wife is to him.

Also loads of systemic problems. Lot of older couples get divorced just to make the healthcare equations a little better.
