Marrying the right woman is worth 10s of millions of dollars only if she comes with 10s of millions of dollars. Come on, man. You are making me think your wife reviews all your posts.
The right woman doesn’t insist on marriage. She will stay with you regardless of the legal status of the relationship. She doesn’t cajole, threaten to leave, give ultimatums, etc., to get you to include the state in the relationship.
Marriage only makes sense if there is a legal advantage for it, such as for immigration, tax planning, medical POA, etc., or maybe when children are involved. Kids are unable to understand concepts like legal fiction. They just want to fit in with their peer group.
I disagree with your post.
my wife has added immeasurable value to my life: in the home we have built, the family we have grown, and the wealth we have generated.
a good woman will support you when you need it. Of course such a woman will want you to support her as well. That’s a proper symbiotic relationship.
and you are right, the right woman should t have to cajole, threaten, etc. if that’s been your experience, I feel for you and understand why you would be jaded. But then maybe you have been meeting the wrong women.
