At this point, when my son comes of age and asks my opinion on marriage, I will tell him the truth, at least as far as community property states are concerned.
That it’s an illusory contract designed to punish the man/primary breadwinner, no matter how good his behavior, and benefit the woman, no matter how egregious her behavior.
This is one of the reasons why the agrarian model is superior to the industrial model.
Men and women should both work from home and raise their daughters and sons together throughout each day.
“That it’s an illusory contract designed to punish the man/primary breadwinner, no matter how good his behavior, and benefit the woman, no matter how egregious her behavior.”
Indeed. You summed it up perfectly.
If I only knew then what I know now, I would have never married. The court system raped me financially and rewarded her generously.
If I ever get so lonely and feel a dire need for companionship, I’ll get a dog or a cat.
What I tell young men is there is a very simple solution to this problem—if you want to marry a woman make sure she has better job prospects and wealth than you do.
Then suddenly the risk/reward analysis looks a lot different....
That’s a fact. And to add insult to injury you ...can’t finish that.
