We learned in what men want that the largest benefit of marriage, for them, is having a dependable, monogamous sexual partner. This constitutes a great deal of their “marriage equity”. So what is the marriage equity for women? Financial security.

Other forms of security (emotional, physical) are also important. But in general, women view marriage as a chance to raise babies while not having to worry about financially supporting themselves.

From this viewpoint, what are we left to conclude? For men, marriage is not an earth shattering proposition. For women, however, marriage is far and away better than their options (think: lonely librarian cat lady). Again, why do you think there are all those magazines?

So what is the point of being armed with this knowledge? To be reminded that the burden is on you, the woman, to trap a man into marrying you. Marriage isn’t all flowers and sunshine for men. They’re not as excited about it as you are. Remember, life isn’t like Cinderella. A wealthy, handsome prince isn’t going to come sweep you off your feet while you’re mopping the floor. If you want a Prince, you’re going to have to work for it!

That can be a pretty disheartening thought for some women. But fear not, this site is here to help!
