This essay sheds light on why men should never get married and also punctuates why men should never date. The benefits of being single forever are delineated in this essay. The institution of marriage is something that men should think twice about before imprudently and impetuously embracing since the ramifications that ensue from conceding to a marriage agreement can potentially be eminently calamitous on a male's end and ultimately culminate in more than just a costly divorce. With a divorce rate of around 50%, a marriage is almost always preordained to culminate in an unfruitful outcome that can extend beyond succumbing to the possible punitive repercussions of paying lifetime alimony to an ex-wife once a divorce transpires. Even if the marriage were to not elicit a seemingly inevitable divorce, it can be burdensome for a male to sustain the martial life since it further restricts any modicum of freedom the man once had in his spare time. This is because, the married man will more often than not need to succumb to constantly make concessions and comprises to appeases his wife. New complications can be ushered into the man's life when he has to deal with his wife's family which can potentially "be a source of problems and conflict" (Goodman, 2019) if the familial relationships are contentious and precarious. Beyond the aforementioned, other issues are likely to arise from marriage. Marriage can introduce a host of new issues into the man's life if his wife depreciates his decisions, behaviors, habits, and personality traits. When people cannot accept others based on their unique personality, characteristics, habits, and decisions, it likely to create strife and culminate in needless and insalubrious altercations emerging, especially when incompatible people live together. "Marriage can also significantly extend the time that couples stay together in a bad or unhealthy relationship" (Goodman, 2019). Moreover, people change overtime and do so sometimes for the worse. The person the man married may possibly adversely change their character overtime by embracing more negative traits such as possibly being more judgemental, argumentative, irate, impulsive, rash, arrogant, and unpleasant than the spouse was before the marriage agreement was signed. Marriage ceremonies can also be an onerous financial burden to bare and the ensuing divorce can even be more financially devastating on the man's end which is all the more reason for men to abstain from marriage. Marriage will also usher in a bevy of new responsibilities into the male's life and render it more cumbersome for him to sustain himself since he now is now taking care of at least two adults while still having the burdensome obligation to pay for all of his expenses. The chronic stress induced from marriage on the male's end can be eminently debilitating and adversely impinge on his health since being in a chronically stressful state profusely comprises immune system health and can easily ravage the DNA. The repercussions of succumbing to chronic stress are often grossly underestimated. Beyond a divorce being highly likely to ensue if the wife has a hypergamous nature, another issue with marriage is that it can be an extremely cumbersome challenge to begrudgingly sustain a marriage when the two incompatible individuals who no longer are attracted to one another attempt to sustain a shared life together as a couple. The ample devastating disadvantages of marriage that a male is apt to encounter renders the institution of marriage an unappealing prospect to embrace, especially when you consider that a divorce can cause the male to make alimony payments in perpetuity. Besides the financial costs associated with marriage and divorce on the male's end, the opportunity cost is also enormous since time spent with his spouse in an insalubrious relationships could have otherwise been earmarked towards working on achieving his higher aspirations if he were an unmarried single male.
