One way to stave off sexual predators is by having a wife.

But what if she has extramarital sex? Imagine living with a woman who contracts herpes or other new or random STIs from other men that can be passed onto me, even without my having sex with her. Living with her would shorten my lifespan rather than extend it, which the latter was the goal in avoiding sexual predators.

Why did she marry me if she's going to have extramarital sex? How can I make sure that I don't marry a sexual predator, especially when I barely have any connections with childhood female friends?

What if she wrongfully initiates divorce, using it as a tool to take resources from me? I've read of men who have been divorce-raped. Maybe I can read laws protecting me from such wrongful divorce but she can always fabricate evidence, documents, and witness. And I could lose children! My mom and dad divorced, and my mom took all three children. I can't imagine losing a child, even to a predator. Remarrying after divorce is believed to be near adultery, so I might not ever rightfully recover.

I could initiate a divorce in many situations, but I feel such divorce is shameful under Christianity. And again, remarrying is like near adultery. Outside of Christianity, my resources would likely be taken away too.

If I do decide to marry, for the sake of staving off sexual predators, then I'd need to be careful with whom I marry. I probably shouldn't rush marriage. I can probably find local marriage and divorce statistics to review the longevity of some marriages in my society.
