During marriage the benefits are about equal, depending on the relationship. However, when time for the divorce comes, the woman benefits waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more. She could even cheat on the husband and still take half his shit and get child support because custody defaults to the mother in most cases. Not legally but few judges rule against a mother. If the guy cheats, he will have hell to pay. The only way men win in divorce cases is with an OVERWHELMING mount of proof, and even then only if they get a truly fair and unbiased judge, which is rare. Also, after divorce, it is very easy for a woman to hold visitation over the father's head, whether or not he is fully compliant. Even in cases where the mother pays child support, it won't be enough to destroy her life like it is for men. I am not a woman hater. These are just what I have noticed in my pursuit to become a cop and eventually lawyer.
Well your both supposed to benefit.
I don’t think anyone really benefits from marriage, but I do think that women benefit from divorce. But that could be avoided with a prenup.
Yes, i agree with olderandwiser that both can benefit from a long term, healthy marriage where both love and respect each other.

u I think that both parties equally benefit from a good, successful marriage.
We can determine this quite easily. What is the reputation of each gender's greatest desperation?
For women, it's marriage.
For men, it's sex.
If we view it that simply, men benefit the most from sex; women benefit the most from marriage.
That said, nothing is ever simple. And if Jordan Peterson is correct, then in polyamorous societies, the top 20% of males get 80% of the women [This is the proven state on dating apps], leading to widespread violence from the bottom 80% of sexually frustrated males.
This leads to the top tier males feeling disenchanted, with all the women throwing pussy at him non-stop and vying for his commitment, he gets like "Wow. That's all it takes, huh."
And naturally the women in those circumstances are also disenchanted, because they're fighting against 80% of women for the dedication of those high value males (hereby HVMs), and the HVMs won't commit, because why should they? So the women are left ultimately alone until they ultimately settle and feel like they got the bad end of the stick [that's totally a saying, shut up].
So, depending on whether or not that is true, everyone benefits most from a monogamy-encouraged society. Women get security and a long-term mate who is completely [hopefully] focused on her; men get a fair shot at finding a mate and reproducing; and, society at large benefits, because we're not all killing each other. Sounds like a good day to me.
Women. Men do not get women's resources in marriage (80% of domestic spending (70% globally) is done by women despite them being only responsible for about a third of domestic earnings), they do not get security from women, they do not get a home from a woman in marriage, in fact if the statistics are to be believed they don't even get sex (over 33% of all marriages are sexless) from a marriage. Then when you look at divorces, women benefit even more. So I think we can objectively state (to the chagrin of women everywhere I'm sure) that women are the beneficiaries of marriage not men.
Both. Both benefits as both don't benefit. It's not a gender thing, it's a calling thing. There are those who were happier before having sex and getting married. But the moment they do, everything breaks apart in their lives. Which means those who are called are oftentimes paired with those who aren't and it causes an unbalance.
Both do benefit from it. A happy marriage is a wonderful thing for both sexes. Apart from this, there are tax benefits, way way less struggle with burocracy when having children together about the parency rights and also less struggle with pretty much any kind of paperwork.
It depends on the situation. Sometimes men get sex, companionship, support, and someone to look after the house and cook for them. Sometimes women gain financial support. Sometimes both people are better off because it's a good relationship. Sometimes, they're worse off.
Both where I’m from, divorce with kids can get messy but nothing a la USA. Female poverty is a thing over here, women that were financially dependent on their spouse raising the kids have no where to go after divorce and don’t have a job or individual savings.
I don't think either benefits more or less in general. Individually some women do and some men do. I personally don't think many benefits. Vowing forever is the only benefit which doesn't need a piece of paper by the state. I'm happily unmarried to the love of my life and we don't worry about becoming one in every way. We have our own accounts and money. We share the bills. We don't receive each others debt. The only way we become one is with our hearts and souls.
I challenge your premise. They benefit 8n different ways, similar to how you and the store owner both benefit when you make a purchase.
Women benefit by having a father for their children and a provider who covers or helps with expenses and child rearing. Men benefit by having a mother for their children who is generally more fond of caring for their interpersonal and service based needs.
Asking who benefits more is like asking "which is bigger: green or happy?"
There are no good units of comparison. They bother benefit sumptuously.
If the marriage is successful, both work out wonderfully. On the other hand, studies have shown that women initiate a divorce the most often and the law no longer requires a reason so she can just divorce him out of boredom if she wanted to. The man is very likely to lose the house, dog and kids because of a biased family court and he will live in an apartment being shoved child support/alimony down his throat. He realizes that he would be too broke to attract another woman and would probably die alone. It is also very likely to end the same way if the wife turned out to be abusive.
No surprise that men voted women, and women voted men. I dont think any of us men/women go into a marriage thinking we are gonna get divorced, so you gotta take the divorce stuff off the table as far as benefiting from alimony etc. By the time it comes to that BOTH men and women are vindictive enough to try to take the other for all they got. IF we are talking about benefits from marriage WITHIN the marriage I think male and female alike benefit, YOU FOUND LOVE guys. there's so many single folks out there who could only WISH to find that.
There is not one benefit for men.
The only way to tip divorce in mens favor is to 1. Have a prenup. 2. Have a lot of kids. In many states the difference in child support between 2 kids and 10 kids is not even double what the 2 kids is. Ie if you pay $1000 for 2 kids you would pay $1400 for 10 kids. So the real way to keep the incentive for divorce low is have a lot of kids and if you going to pay child support you might as well get a good bang for the buck and get all that mama child care for a good price.
VOTE C : Equally.
Your image is correct.
In a good marriage the balance will be equal and both will receive the benefits that a loving honest and faithful partner provides!
That does not mean it always ends up that way and is why the divorce courts are full, which is sad :(
As was married and now divorce. Women. They spend all their money on clothing and makeup. Men pay for everything else and at this end they suck you up half of all you paid for. If women answer that men get the benefit of a marriage you are blind or delusional. Men don't even have sex as a benefit because women also control your sex life.
Well I heard that women do once the marriage dissolves but while inside the marriage? Maybe both? I don't know as I do not currently have personal experience in this topic!
Neither men or women. Children benefit the most when their parents remain committed to each other and committed together to provide for offspring. Too many good peoples lives have been ruined by the selfish choices made by their parents
Very weird how most women vote, that men benefit from marriage more, yet it's the women, who are placing the highest importance on marriage while men stay away from marriage and would do better without it.
Yes... the answer is yes.
The ways in which both parties are benefitted, theoretically, are very different, but I think when all is said and done they come out even.
I say the man benefits cause we men can and are ass idiots many times so to be blessed to have a woman that still chooses to stay with us is why I say men but a great man and one I looked up to through the years said it best there is no 50 / 50 love sum days she gives 60/and I give 40 sum days she give 30 and I give 70 so it can be said depending on the day either
Marriage, Both
Divorce, women
But in conclusion, if divorce benefits women then divorce don't happen if there's no marriage and it's easy to manipulate men through divorce so women still have the advantage.
