another reason to marry your own financial equal. This also lessens the chance of disagreements about money which is the #1 cause of divorce statistically. If both earned roughly the same there would be less friction. If a guy earning $100,000/yr married someone making $15/hr and they had different spending habits that would be a disaster.
problem is too many are blinded by the “love” that hardly lasts a couple yrs and after that reality sets in and all the differences that didn’t seem to matter at first are beginning to cause problems. Especially for women, the “Prince charming” syndrome wears off rather quick since the guy can’t keep up with her expectations anymore and then they want to move on and find “Prince charming #2”. The guy is left with no woman, no children and a fat bill!
When they say men are commitment phobic these days I don’t blame them at all! Marriage is a raw deal for men these days!
Society has changed tremendously for women, women work these days and have an equal standing in professional circles, however they still expect the privileges from the old days, privileges that were designed to protect women because they did not work. Those concepts don’t apply anymore!!!
I will add that there are women who are exceptions to the above but very hard to find them!
