With men paying for everything from the first date to the engagement ring, wedding ring, the house, car and all the bills, don’t you think that the man has a vested interest to preserve the marriage?
When a man is the one fronting all the major costs from courtship to cohabitation, he’s not just investing money, he’s investing his future. Every dollar he spends is a bet on stability. Every payment he makes is rooted in a long-term commitment. A man who foots every bill is not looking to throw that all away for nothing. He has skin in the game. He built the structure, signed the contract and carries the weight. Of course he wants to protect what he built.
But flip the table.
With all of the outrageously high alimony and child support settlements given out, without much thought by the judges, don’t you think that the woman has a vested interest to end the marriage?
She doesn’t lose the house, she gets it. She doesn’t lose income, she gains his. She doesn’t get penalized for leaving, she gets rewarded. Courts hand her the paycheck, the property and the kids. Her exit is incentivized. She can cash out on the back of a man who built the life she no longer wants to participate in.
So while the man fights to preserve it because he built it
The woman is handed every reason to destroy it because she profits from its collapse.
And people still wonder why marriage is dying.
