Quote from turkeyneck:
Marriage is quite literally an investment of not only your heart, but all of your work, incomeâand future income, especially when children are involved. Now, if an investment broker told you he had a deal in which you could invest, and there was more than a 50 percent chance that you would be wiped out and spend most of the rest of your life paying the margin call or going to jail, how much would you invest?

You didnt add the positives though. What if your broker told you that they had an investment that doubled your yearly income(2 income household) and/or gave you a full time nanny, chef, and housemaid and free sex for the rest of your life and it cost you nothing to get started only a committment in front of friends and family to a woman you already love and want to be with.
Would you invest in that?
