  • Men who are wedded live longer generally. I assume that is a benefit. Most laws are written to benefit men because until the last 50 years the laws were written by men.. Women held no power as they could not vote, procure loans, make purchases, inherit, make decisions about their own bodies... oh, wait, wait... that is still occurring around the world. So I would say that men generally around the world acquire free labor, free sexual services, progeny, domestic services & free childcare. All 'ya have to do is feed her.

    • @boodica. OMG, you need to take a Xanax. You are so far off mark I can only assume you are hysterical.

    • I don't think so. Many Women usually use sexual attraction to play with men even for the marriagemail and we men usually are not strong enough to resist.

  • Well, you get a life long best friend, a partner, and a lover, even after the kids leave (if they have kids).. At least that's how it's supposed to be..

  • Friendship/companionship.
    Steady supply sexuality.

  • Commitment, settling down, and companionship!

  • Apparently it's just generally good for men...

  • i don’t know, they’ll get love if they aren’t a shallow dick and if the woman isn’t a bitch

  • Marriage benefits the family. If you want to have a family, being married benefits you by providing the best known environment for that family.

    Financially emotionally physically it is more secure and stable for you and your partner to have a strong legal tie to each other than to have the same trusted personal commitment without the legal commitment. This extra level of commitment and security also encourages the relationship to grow deeper and fuller because it's more likely that relationship is gonna be the one your whole life is in than the relationship without the legal tie.

    When you have kids, this increases in importance significantly, as well as providing the kids with the most secure stable environment to grow up in emotionally mentally and physically (more stable than the same trusted personally commitment parents without the legal commitment).

    Kids greatly benefit from having both parents present and in a good stable relationship, and society greatly benefits from having good stable households and optimally-developed individuals (from good stable homes). Marriage is designed to encourage and ensure toward these benefits.

    If you don't want a family there remains little substantial benefit to getting married.

  • It doesn't. The problem is that women use sex as a reward and men accept that. Waste of time, money and sperm.

  • He has a woman to help whenever he is in trouble. There would be someone to love us and enjoy together, there is no question for sex😂😂😂😂

  • At the end of the day it is pretty great to have somebody to come home to.

    • True you can have that without marriage though.

    • That is true I suppose.

  • When you find your person. I mean really find your person to the point that you crave them constantly and wher not being with them is an almost physical pain, then you will understand.

    • Hope you're right

    • And is it even impossible to do it without marriage? I think everyone has the capability of doing it without marriage but only there are people who just likes to make marriage a big deal. It seems to me that people who think that way just don't really care so much about their partner just only when they get married.

    • You don't need the government involved to solidify a relationship.

  • It adds a ring to my collection

  • It doesn't. The man gets the losing end of every deal with a woman. Why do you think the marriage stats have dropped so significantly? Because more and more men are just walking away. It's sad, but men have allowed themselves to be degraded and dragged in society and now we reap the whirlwind of that. Turns out it wasn't just jokes and fun times at the expense of men, it was the degradation of men and men are now the weaker sex. Facts suck.

  • A companion for one thing. My parents have been married for more than 35 years, and they are still in love with one another. Do they have a perfect relationship? No. My sister is happily married. Does she have a perfect relationship with her husband? No. Marriage takes plenty of work for it to last long term. The no fault divorces are one reason one the divorce rate is so high. If you married someone who wasn't compatible with you, that's your fault, and you ignored the red flags when you were dating more than likely.

  • Unfettered access to pussy.
    Oh wait... that just doesn't apply anymore, does it? LOL

    • Damn! The rich rappers must have it better than married men then. They swim in pussy on the regular.

    • @Unit1 - Of course they do. Bimbos givin' up sex for free on the assumption they can snag the celebrity for themselves. FAIL

  • He gets the title of "husband" instead of "boyfriend."

    That's it.

    • Oh well that is cool lol

    • Wow, hard to top that deal...😂😂

    • mho right here

  • In most cases it doesn’t.

  • Honestly you can get most benefits of a relationship without marriage, but when you're married you can protect the children that are born under the marriage and if your partner dies, the living spouse can receive an insurance money and widow's pension.

    • You can leave a life insurance policy to anyone. You don’t have to be married

    • @JamieLoves In my country you have to be married, you can't leave it to anyone. And the widow pension is just for married people, if they only lived together they don't get anything at all.

    • USA is different..

  • as far as i can see, it doesn't really. marriage is an institution originally invented to prevent men from easily getting out of their responsibility in terms of rising children and in terms of enforcing relationship rules on a legal level, so that women don't getabused or fucked over easily. it was meant to optimize the survival of the human species, by enforcing rules that make it more likely for children being adequately rised.

    yes it theoretically also "to some extend" protects men from being fucked over but that's mostly theory and rarely actual practice, cause it's usually men that have to lose more. women go for men higher in socio-economic status, not lower, which is why they typically have less to lose. of course exceptions do exist.

    for men, marriage has no real world advantages as far as i see. it takes their freedom to have sex with whomever they want (cause typically women are not the ones trying to fuck many men but men are typically trying to fuck many women) and gives them responsibilities in return. not exactly a sweet deal but i'm open to be proven wrong.

  • You are trusted more in society. Duh 🙄

    • By who?

    • You already know the answer to this. Political, Money, Property's, Loans, House Loans, Climbing the Corporate Ladder, Being able to have a Human Trafficking circle, Serial killers, Pastors, Presidents... Like c'mon single women always get the short end of the stick. When I was recently divorced, I was treated completely different than when I was married. Serious.

    • I don’t need you to get a loan my credit scores dictate that... Nobody cares if I’m married or single on the corporate ladder... so if your saying marriage benefits you with all that then okay but we are talking about men here.
