I have younger family members and friends who have yet to get married, and I try to warn them about their certain fate should they get married. I show them statistics on how only 8-15% of marriages are "happy", but virtually all marriages are less happy after 5-8 years. The vast majority of men either will get divorced, or be stuck in a slave relationship which they are not happy but stay due to kids, financial, etc. taking in daily financial, emotional, and sometimes physical abuse. The response I get is that I'm just bitter because of my divorce and I'll find love again someday. I usually just tell them, at least marry someone who is near your economic status, don't let her stay home after kids, and be prepared emotionally that she will change completely, hopefully that would prevent them from a disaster divorce. Any of you give advice to men who can't wait to enslave themselves?
