excluding love, what are the benefits of marriage to a man?

Question

(the reason i am saying exclude love is because most guys say the
b i t c h i n g and nagging they put up with is a negative which negates love as a positive - lets just say the two wipe each other out.) so excluding this what are the benefits of marriage to a man?

Answer 1

On the order of 1,400 legal rights are conferred upon married couples in the U.S. Typically these are composed of about 400 state benefits and over 1,000 federal benefits. Most of these legal and economic benefits cannot be privately arranged or contracted for. For example, absent a legal (or civil) marriage, there is no guaranteed joint responsibility to the partner and to third parties (including children) in such areas as child support, debts to creditors, taxes, etc. In addition, private employers and institutions often give other economic privileges and other benefits (special rates or memberships) only to married couples.

Ok, and that's the cold, cold legal answer. But I know that isn't want you were asking. There are some other benefits, non-legal, and that is that, if he is lucky, he has a constant source of support (as long as he is one); he is out of the rat race of dating (whew, thank God); he has a companion who is as interested him him as he is in her; and he has a future that is not solitary.

However, your question says that "most guys" feel like they have to put up with bitching and nagging and I would guess that these are the guys who expected marriage would just be less expensive sex - and they didn't realize it meant compromise, and caring, and work, and planning, and considerations, and effort and more effort. These are the guys who expected to continue to act and live their single life, but just sleep with the same woman - they weren't really ready to move into a partnership and so their wives are there expecting a partnership and they got a little boy for a husband.

The great benefits of marriage - tangible and intangible - are available only to those who are ready and williing to accept the burdens that come along with them.

Answer 2

why would your partner be bitching and nagging unless you weren't there to do something? Maybe it is you that needs to be looked at. Partner is the key word here, and family values, financial beliefs and goals, housekeeping duties, all of these need to be discussed BEFORE the marriage to make sure you two are really commited. If you are saying it that way, what benefit is it to a woman to get married? You write like a very old fashion thinker.

Answer 3

The marriages that I see that really work are amazing. The ability to share raising kids, all of lifes ups and downs and adventures with one person who knows you sooo well - what could be better? To have one life partner who loves you unconditionally and promises to be there for you when you are sad and to share your happiness is a huge benefit. I am twice divorced and I still believe in it even if I will never have it.

Answer 4

after reading your question it is hard to tell who you want an answer from a man or a woman............if you dont mind here is my answer.....
all benefits of marriage are tied too and are grounded in love.
for each person this is different. real love does not get negated by negatives for it is love that makes all the other aspects worth it.
best of luck to you.

Companionship

Answer 8

Very easy to answer. You have someone to share your fears and joys with, someone to grow old and just share your life , good and bad with. Most of all, you can bring a child into this world. Granted , there are alot of single parents out there. But to me, obvisously it's better to have both parents raising their child.
