You were married in a different era. Now society has conned men into serving women at all costs or else they will die alone. It's the men that want to get married, its the men that want commitment, its the men that will do anything for sex, its the men that should sacrifice their lives for women.
The Powers That Be discovered that by giving women Power, and Disney discovered that by making women into virginal princesses and precious creatures, men cannot challenge status quo and there is lots of money to be made. The more Power you give to the female, the gender that decides to give sex to the man and creates life, the more the man has to work for society to get that sex and commitment from the women.
