Recently I read an interesting article. The author made the observation that there is no longer a reason for a man to get married in this current culture.
His observation is... In the past a man would work plus do laundry, cooking, cleaning and take care of other house hold jobs. When he got married his wife would take over those duties along with taking care of the couples children. This freed up the man to go out and pursue financial security for the family unit. But now women work out side the home full time. In all honesty thanks to technology jobs that took the better part of the day. Like laundry and ironing now are done in an hour or two.
But now men get married and end up still doing at least half of the house hold chores. He is back to square one. So why bother with all that comes with marriage? When he still is doing laundry, cleaning, cooking other duties and now child care too? Plus since so many woman are willing to have sex out side of marriage? "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?"
So a lot of men have decided it's not a good deal. Then when you through in 50% of marriages don't work and the woman get almost everything (including rights to the children). It becomes a valueless arrangement to enter.
SIDE NOTE
The sad thing is with women now working so much the kids are the ones that suffer. The kids are raised by strangers not in a loving environment with a motherly figure. But it balances out. People put their kids in daycare a few weeks after birth and go live their lives. In time the kids will stick them in a old folks home and go live their lives.
