"And the trickle down effect of this is - men fear marriage, because they fear being caught up in the financial ruin of divorce, even if they do not initiate it."

I've found myself thinking that way the older and more financially secure I become. I have much more to lose and less time to replace it. Plus, I've seen how good loving marriages can turn into the most vicious of battle fields with the only winners being the lawyers. I don't like feeling the need to be so careful or to be suspicious of strong emotions and believe I've missed a couple of potentially very satisfying relationships.

This is bad because when you see this going on around you, how are you ever going to be able to trust your wife? Can't have marriage without it.
