It can't just be sex. There are tons of women out there who want to have fun without a ring on their finger. I don't see any benefits. I think men just settle.

The only benefit is a tax benefit.

Having the right mate, a marriage can be very beneficial for a man. The perfect wife (queen) can or should be your: cheerleader when you're down; partner, best friend, confident, masseuse, admirer, nurse, lover, traveling partner, etc... Someone who will always look out for you and who will definitely have your best interest at heart. Shouldn't that someone who is willing to naturally give you all of that and more deserve a full commitment from you, the man.
One must assume the role and responsibility of a king to be treated like one.
Without some form of commitment, a woman who is willing to do all that without a formal commitment from a man will not receive the full benefit as a wife would. (at least legally).
In my opinion, a ring is an action or symbolism of what the heart feels

A man benefits the same way a women does - by spending his life with someone he loves and respects. Sometimes that includes having children, which so many men look forward to.
Marriage is partnership. If both partners are equal and feel the same about one another it's a beautiful thing.

A man will benefit big time if he finds someone that caters to his every wish and there are woman out there that believe in taking care of "their man". In most marriages, men and women both work but when they get off from work, the real work begins for the woman, with the kids and the home and with the meals,. Rarely does a man think any of this is his responsibility...Please girls, if you ever decide to marry, make sure he does half of everyting..If you don't you will have a big baby on your hands and you will never get him raised. . . .

Well, unfortunately some do. My hubby settled the first time around, that's why he ended up divorced. Men often marry when they're in their early twenties because "society" puts pressure on them that that is the next step in the progression of life. I believe it's too young to be married, and that you really have to know yourself and know that you're with the right person for the right reasons!
When it's real and right, a man gains unconditional love and a soft place to fall when the world gets rough. A best friend, a lover, someone to take care of him and walk with him through life. To help out when times get tough, to laugh and celebrate when he achieves his goals. Someone to have his children with so he can carry on the very best of himself. If you're not seeing the benefits, then you clearly are not in the right frame of mind to share yourself in marriage.

If you ever meet the right woman you may change your tune. There are as many men who enjoy marriage as their are women. Married men live longer for one thing, plus they have companionship, a stable and comfortable home life, they mesh into a couple oriented society, and they have a friend to share experiences with, not to mention being connected to someone they love.
I realize all marriages aren't made in heaven...but single life can be lonely over the long haul. I am single by choice, but there are days when I would rather be part of a couple.

A man benefits by being able to be with someone they love, everyday, and being linked to them by marriage.
If you just want your flavor of the week or "fun", then marriage would not benefit you.
With most married men (including my husband) have told me they are happy to spend their life with the person they love.

He doesn't. Once you get married the relationship falls apart. Some take longer then others but marriage is the quickest way to end the romance and fun. Men either get married because they are blinded by love or too young.

My husband could not wait to get married. He doesn't think he settled. Yes a lot was because of the sex but he also wanted someone to share his life with whom he can trust. Anyone can go out and have sex but not everyone can find someone to share there life with.

I got married because I found someone I literally wanted to spend the rest of my life with. It's official, it's nice to come home to someone, to share things with, etc. Eventually, most people grow out of the "I just want to have fun stage" and decide they want a mature, grown-up relatinoship that's more than sex and having fun all the time.

You think wrongly then.It is NOT just about sex.It is about companionship, your best friend helping you through life,enjoying one another's company and doing the things you love together with someone who loves doing the same things with the one they love doing them with!
Sure, you can run out and have sex with anything or anyone and end up with a disease or paying child support and destroying some kid's life by not being in it.The thing is,most ANYONE can get along in the bedroom, you find someone you get along with everywhere else, the bedroom is just an added bonus.
