It takes two people to make children, and it should take two people to raise them. Yet, when we talk about marriage, the truth is women benefit more from it than men.
Here’s why:
In marriage, a woman gains emotional stability, financial security, companionship, and social respect. Society tends to celebrate her more once she’s married she’s seen as “settled,” “complete,” or “responsible.”
But for men? Marriage often comes with more responsibility and less appreciation. He’s expected to provide, protect, lead, and sometimes even sacrifice his personal happiness all while being told, “that’s what men are supposed to do.”
This is not to say women don’t give their best in marriage many do! But let’s be fair true marriage works when both sides benefit, when both partners give and receive love, support, and respect in equal measure.
Marriage should never be one-sided. It’s teamwork, not servitude.
