Actually people marry for a whole host of reasons.
Love, lust, security, money, children, social standing, sex, etc., etc., etc.
The relationship that your parents display is rare and should be cherished
traderNik, but for most women, the male has to have some type of means,
that is a fact of life.
Even if he doesn't have to have it now, he has to
show potential.
It's just as valid to say "Marriage, ah, no thanks" as it is to say "Love Springs Eternal", it's really about the individual and their experience(s) in life, and we know how varied and diverse that is,
now don't we?
For example:
1. John has had positive experiences with women, where they have been loving and nurturing, and he comes from a strong family background. So he can't wait to get married and have a family, and he hopes to be able to do so successfully.
2. Jack has had the whole gamut of experiences with women, where some have been loving and nurturing, other have been manipulative, some conniving, and he's met a few ho's along the way to boot.
Now, how do you think John and Jack are going to feel about any prospective mates they might meet in the future? ... and because they run in the same social ciricles, it's conceivable that they might meet exactly the same women ...

P.S. ... and what would Paul say? "All you need is love yeah, All you need is love, yeah. Love is all you need?"
Yeah ...
right.
