Marry the right woman and get so much much
1. Love
2. A family
3. Sex on tap

5. A best friend
6. A confidant
7. Help

I'm sure there is stuff I'm missing but the practical stuff your describing such as tax breaks, shared health care, joint income, designated driver etc do not justify alone the risks if you marry the wrong woman. The wrong woman can utterly destroy any man. What's always amazing to me when couples divorce is how cold and ruthless women can be. They might have been planning to divorce for a year but will go through the motions pretending while the husband has no idea what's coming, then she hits with the freight train. Next thing he knows he's moved out of his home, his wife is sleeping with another man and he see his kids every other weekend. To strengthen her divorce case for child custody, child support, alimony, the Home and division of assests she will allege abuse, cheating anything. My aunt when she left her ex had been planning it for two years with her lawyer to best maximise her income and to do that she needed full custody of the kids that way she got to keep his house rather than divide it up, get child support from him, alimony and half his stuff while keeping hers. She put into action her plan. On a Friday from the bathroom she called the police and told them he was attacking her then went and started a fight pushing and hitting him, he pushed her away and she fell over and bust her lip and nose, bruised her arm. Police arrived and arrested him. She had to give a statement later on the Monday. So before that she had her friend punch her a few times around her eye and face and hit her on the arms, legs and waist. She went to the hospital that night and filed her report on Monday. He had to stay in the County jail until his court hearing so she had the locks on the house changed, sold on ebay anything he had of value, maxed out his credit cards, emptied his bank account, emptied their shared bank account, changed the car over into her name, somehow cashed his shares and bonds, had his dog put down secretly moved the man she was cheating with in and on that Monday took out a restraining order. Like I remember overhearing her tell all this to her friend. The guy was a decent man and was from then only able to see his kids at her convience.
Took this guy years to get over it all and when he met someone new she tried to sabotage it for him, tried to win him back and then stopped him from seeing his kids. But you wouldn't think my aunt was like that but she is.

Occasional access to her vagina in a gradually diminishing pattern and enthusiasm on her part is a thing of the past. It will eventually evolve to an economic proposition -access will be granted for "service"-if you've done everything she demands. After she calves you've served half your purpose. After she squirts out a few kids she will require childcare, housework along with your usual chores and you damn well better be bringing home bacon so she can play with HER dollies-if you fail in any of these tasks she will divorce you and the Court will order you to pay even more to her with the threat of jail if you are late. She will also keep the children you fathered and are supporting and try to turn them against you. This is what a man gets from marriage-entitled women, impoverishment, boring and very infrequent sex, then financial devastation. I'm an attorney and have handled hundreds of divorces and this is a very common scenario for a man. (And no, I do not just represent the men-more of my clients are women and I have witnessed how mercenary and vindictive they become in the process). I represent them and go after their men for everything they have because that's my job but as a man I see these things and it opens your eyes as to how cold, calculating and mercenary women are. Its a steep price to pay for little return.

In marriage, husband and wife, both want to build a life together. They join forces. They want the other to be happy. They support each other. Their partner is most important in their lives, mature relationships are mutually beneficial. If you do not understand that, stay single and avoid all the imagined hassle. Because marriages offers a mutual agreement with vows that bind them together. Nature has designed sex as most pleasant with a purpose of engaging men and women enjoying sex as much as they can to keep life everlasting on earth. Sex is basic need and life force. Men (and women) gets commeeted partner, as and when they need and have ultimate fun. But most men and women hide these words and present other reasons. If he even wants that without marriage, it is not accepted legally, socially, religiously, (all these things are man-made, but accepted worldwide) and expensive in terms of money and social impression. They get someone to look after them, because professionals are never careful and cheaper than a wife. Traditionally, marriage is said security, and benefits for women and children, at the expense of the man. It is less expensive life being single and doing the dating game, than being married. The difference is, women are expected to offer something substantial besides service and Loyalty, and it is automatic or mechanical. Essentially, Women get everything of him, finances, shelter, food, resources, and protection at his expense, but she does the same for him, if not more. Man gets her, the looks that he was attracted to. Focusing on health and life expectancy for men as primary benefits is a good reason for man. If wife died before him, he will get full custody of her all properties, house auto-paid, life insurance payoff, and much more.

He gets the benefit of someone's loveHe gets the benefit of her commitmentHe gets the benefit of falling asleep/waking up in the arms of sometime who loves himHe gets the benefit of someone to take care of him when he's sickHe gets the "real" friends with benefits... Relationships should be about sharing, caring, loving.. So many people ask what their partner brings, but what do they bring? You get out what you put in... Put in and she'll put out lololIt can't be one sided, it takes two

Fact: They live longer.

Having a partner brings love, lessens feelings of loneliness and isolation, reduces stress, shares the workload of life. There is someone there to share everything with - the joys and sorrows. Males are not immune to desire for this.

I'm going to try and take this q as neutral and not a condemnation of marriage, but it's a pretty shitty thing to ask.

Not all men want to avoid commitment and just have as much hookup sex as possible. There are a lot of men who want something more than that with a woman. Those sorts of men also almost always also want to have children as well.
Furthermore, married men often get more frequent sex than single men. I know the media often makes it look like singles are always out having a ton of one night stands or casual sexual encounters while married people just get bored and stop having sex, but I don't think that's the case (usually). Single people usually don't get nearly as much sex as those in relationships (including married people)

Marriage should be a Union of love and wanting for your spouse. Not a need to have a person. 100% Acceptance and Openness communication is required to maintain a loving and fulfilling relationship. You don’t have to like everything about your spouse but you do have to know and accept who they are. In this way your spouse (male or female) is your best friend, person that supports you through the good and the bad, and always uplifts you.

Nothing coach - and that's why we see least marriages in history - most divorces in history - most single motherhood in history - and probably most pump and dump cases.. It's a bad deal for men and that's all there is to it

He gets a legally binding commitment with the woman he loves. And she gets the same. It’s a sign of love and trust.

I don't know why people think marriage is about love. Too many Disney movies? Marriage is about duty to another person. Women specifically don't understand this and flip their shit when everything doesn't go perfect like they fantasized lol. Backed up by the divorce rate which is 80% filed by women.

JuneLady · Answer

Interesting question. For women, the implications are more obvious.

So long as the woman is keeping what she agreed to, the man will receive companionship. From what I've seen and heard, this is what most men yearn for most in their lives. I don't really get how that even compares, but there's something about knowing that he will never be left alone again that brings my partner immeasurable comfort. It's not the sex or the feeling of dominance, it's just my presence. \_(o. o)_/

Tax breaks and (very few) parental rights as a father. Other than that, beats me!

He comes home to someone. He has someone that will ask him about his day.
Maybe cook him a meal.
Maybe just having someone help with the bills is a significant benefit. I dunno. Shouldn't the guy be asking that about the women he's with himself?

What is the benefit it brings women?

Alyssa11 · Answer

In the same way it benefits a woman. Only if both parties want to be married.

The_Maphio · Answer

It doesn't, unless there is a premarital contract that states that if a divorce happens, she gets fuck-all. Marriage is not as useful as once were, and not as trustworthy either.

Jjpayne · Answer

Commitment and belonging to another person. The luxury of saying the word wife is a high honor. It's not always easy to get to a place of commitment like that
