Marriage Is an EconomyâBut the Market Is Broken
Letâs be honest:
Marriage was never just about love.
Itâs an economy.
Two people bringing different strengths to the tableâpooling resources, talents, values, time, and DNA to build something greater than either could alone.
One pays for the house.
The other makes it a home.
One carries the child.
The other funds the journey.
One hunts.
The other prepares the meat.
Thatâs how it worked.
It wasnât slavery. It was synergy.
â
But today?
Everyone wants to do the least and gain the most.
The goal is no longer legacyâitâs leverage.
Marriage is now treated like a business pitch.
A sponsorship package.
A âget-richâ or âget-outâ scheme.
We hear phrases like:
âIâm in my soft girl era.â
âI canât do this for any man.â
âIf he canât buy the ring, Iâm not saying yes.â
âSix figures or nothing.â
And on the flip side?
Men want to sleep with everyone but marry a virgin.
They leave children behind and still point fingers at single moms.
â
No One Wants to BuildâEveryone Wants to Win
House chores are now slavery.
Raising your own kids? Oppression.
Marriage has lost its meaningâand become a competition.
And because women know they canât lose, the game is tilted.
Divorce is no longer heartbreakâitâs liquidation.
Courts are now auction houses.
Prenups are essential.
DNA tests are non-negotiable.
Because in a broken economy, trust is dangerous.
â
We Are Now Marrying to Escape, Not Expand
Ask the average woman if she wants to marry.
Sheâll hesitate.
Ask her if sheâd marry a rich man?
She says, âshow me the altarâ.
Itâs no longer about compatibility.
Itâs about probabilityâand payout.
Does he have money?
Status?
Assets?
Thatâs the algorithm now.
And no oneâs asking:
Do we share vision?
Do we want the same future?
Can we build something that outlives both of us?
â
The Marriage Market Is CrashingâAnd Nobodyâs Talking About It
Raising another manâs child used to be an oddity.
Now itâs normal.
Abandoning your own children used to bring shame.
Now itâs branded as âhealing.â
Everyone wants to be a boss.
But no one wants to collaborate.
â
So Whatâs the Way Forward?
Marriage should be a merger of strengthsânot a tug-of-war.
It should be:
â Purpose-driven, not pressure-driven.
â Aligned in values, not pursuit of vanity.
â Built on roles, not rivalry.
â Anchored in legacy, not lifestyle.
Because when marriage failsâsociety pays.
Kids lose fathers.
Homes lose structure.
And the next generation inherits confusion.
So hereâs the big question:
How do we rebuild this economy?
How do we redesign marriage to reflect trust, growth, and shared responsibilityârather than exploitation and entitlement?
We need new answers.
New models.
New honesty.
Because if we keep borrowing from broken narrativesâŠ
There wonât be a future left to safeguard.
â
Let the thinkers respond.
Let the architects of legacy debate.
Because marriage isnât dying.
Itâs just begging to be reimagined.
