The marriage market is broken in many ways. No fault divorce has changed the dynamic.

But there's still a few good logical reasons to get married.

One of them is the desire to retire your wife.

If she's going to stay home and support you while you build, wife that girl up.
When a woman stays home to support her man and the family, she's making a non cash contribution to your mission. She is giving you sweat equity that frees you up to focus more on your goal, which in turn makes everyone happier, healthier, and wealthier. In sum, a partner.
Love is a great reason to spend time with someone.

It's not a great reason to sign a legally binding contract.

Marriage is a mission related decision that should be seen as a transaction.
If you don't know what your mission is? Don't get married.

Don't know what your values are? Don't get married.

Identify your values, identify your mission, align your actions...and then decide on marriage.

or let your parents decide ;)
Guys love to talk a big game.

So, you found a woman you love and respect and she's ride or die for you. You want her to quit her job, focus on supporting you, and work on the home.

And you want her to do it with no assurances or commitment.

Cool story. https://twitter.com/BeHeadR/status/1362424368874225670?s=20
A good frame of reference on how to engage your woman:

- would you advise your daughter to do the same you'd ask of your gf/wife?
No dude. Marriage is not about sexually exclusivity. That's part of it for most people sure, but marriage is a business contract. Period.

Sorry you don't understand women.

Virtually 100% of them would prefer to be in a loving marriage where she supports a high achieving man, loves her children, and raises a beautiful family.

or she could be a wage slave to a corporation if you prefer https://twitter.com/Josh39927791/status/1362430462833152001?s=20
If you can't see the value in a home and family manager who dedicates herself to taking care of you, your homebase, and your children....

Then you need to work harder, build more, and become worth it in her eyes and your own.
Guys get uncomfortable at the idea being the sole breadwinner because they know inside they're not capable or worthy.

If you can afford to have a woman committed to supporting you, taking care of the home, and handling the sundries of life -

why wouldn't you?

fear.
Cool. You found a woman with career aspirations.

I'm glad you enjoy that and she enjoys working for dollars.

Good for you.

Keep grinding ya'll. https://twitter.com/FactsMerchant/status/1362432650875699206?s=20
The lie is that there is no balance.

Careering and homemaking, when done properly are full time jobs.

You guys are making sacrifices, and thats ok. It's your choice.

Lots of couples work so they can afford nice things.

Things.

yikes
dummies, trolls, and broke ass mf'ers:

If you arent building a business worth dedicating yourself 150% to, you don't need a stay at home wife.

If you arent building a business worth dedicating yourself 150% to, you don't need a girl friend.

You need to get BUILDING.
Most two income families trap themselves.

Take a look at your spending. Why are you REALLY a two income household?

Luxury items? Whole foods trips? New cars? Expensive Vacations? Budgeting too hard?

Hard truth is that a LOT of people trade time with their kids for shiny shit.
Extreme Ownership applies to relationships.

If your wife cheats on you, fucks you over, or takes advantage of you...it's your fault.

You picked her, you lead her astray, and you probably suck ass as a man. https://twitter.com/farlance/status/1362438304256434181?s=20
