Is merriage worth anything to the man these days?

Question

The only thing marriage is good for is for the woman to get what she wants out of the man.

Answer 1

Marriage is worthless to both men and women. We're all capable of living independently of one another, so why bother?

Answer 2

I find it more and more difficult to say that marriage means anything to young men and women nowadays. It is so easy to walk away - in my opinion, if it isn't worth fighting for, why would you get married in the first place. I feel too many people today forget that marriage takes a lot of effort - you can't take two people from two different backgrounds and expect everything to be smooth sailing at the start - both need to work at it to find that common ground they can share and grow together in. I've been married for 32 years now, and it is absolutely wonderful - we share a lot, yet we each have our own interests as well. We fought a little in the beginning, but once we realized that what we were fighting about was so trivial, it stopped - we still disagree on some things, and that is healthy because it promotes thought. We are best of friends, each others best supporter and lovers to the end - but it is always a work in progress.

Answer 3

Of course it is. A marriage should mean everything to both the husband and wife. You seem to have a problem with your marriage huh ?? Why what's up ?? Marriage should be a two way street. You only get out of a marriage what you are willing to put into it. Hope this helped. Good luck

Answer 4

As a married man, marriage to me is worth all effort I and
my wife accomplished togeather in building it solid and
strong. Married 20yrs on feb 14th and we still are building
a stronger foundation every year so as not to have any-
one or anything tear the walls down. When you get to that
state of marriage it's a wonderful experience that not too
many people can enjoy these days.

Answer 5

To some men, yes, to other men no. We seem to live in a culture where many people give up when the going gets tough. Relationships are tough, kids are tough, but that is expected, thats just life. But so many people think life is supposed to be easy, fun all the time, without conflict and pain. I value my marriage...it isn't easy, we don't even have alot of interests in common, but I wouldn't give it up or put it to risk for anything. Look for a man who expects to work hard, expects conflict and handles it well and is able to roll with all of life's challenges without getting frustrated or giving up.

Answer 6

Unfortunately that is the culture and as I raise my son to be a man I realize that I have to teach him to look out for selfish girls that will use you for a paycheck. There are good women out their, they just have to deal with a society that makes fun of them if they do anything nice for a man.

What a shame!

Answer 7

This world is so messed up i would not miss out on being married for the world it is hard yes but anything worth having is these days.

Answer 8

I got what I wanted: a wonderful relationship, a kind, loving, compassionate man who adores me. Of course, I treat him with love, respect, admiration and honor. Oh yeah,,, and I pick up his socks, do the laundry, iron, cook, clean, and run the household. I even clean his sink.

Answer 9

It's worth loneliness, pain, long suffering and eventually losing 1/2 of what he has worked his whole life for.

Answer 10

Sadly, I don't think it means anything to men anymore. My husband left me...just packed up and left me...3 days before our 4th anniversary. It about killed me. I meant everything I said in our vows, he obviously didn't. If there are men out there who still believe in marriage...I'd like to meet him.
