Does make me wonder why people ever bother to get married. I mean it makes sense if you want/have kids I suppose, but if you don't then marriage really doesn't offer any benefit and winds up being a HUGE financial disadvantage for men when the marriage inevitably ends.

Marriage doesn't inevitably end (other than by death of a partner, which this isn't referring to); less than half of first marriages, in fact, do.


I wonder what the statistics are for "first marriages that don't want kids". Still not inevitable, I assume...
