I scanned the article in Gyn's link and will cheerfully dismiss it as a bunch of crap by a bitter AFC.
With regards to Marriage, I do agree with Gyn. In the modern world there are no financial incentives, and no moral incentives to getting married.
What it does do is give you an incentive to stick with it in the bad times.
You feel more inclined to accept the fact that the girls losing her figure a bit after two kids, rather than thinking "this girls gone to a 7. I can get a 9 without any trouble".
When the car, the fridge, the washing machine and the dog all break down in the same week, and you have a stack of bills to pay, you are more inclined to stick with it.
Basically it takes the edge off the bad times because you can't just get up and walk away from it all.
Most single blokes will tell you that this is all good reason to avoid marriage, and in fact it is. Marriage is bloody hard work.
But you can't get the emotion of seeing your son take his first steps, catch his first ball, tell you he loves you and wants to be just like you. You can't get that without paying the price.
Marriage gives you the sedcurity to keep your nose to the grindstone, when another man might have walked away, leaving little johnny heartbroken.
Marriage is the price you pay for the kids. Without the kids marriage is exactly the same as any other LTR, except you get less sex.
