The new married/LTR flair on TRP exists for many reasons. MRP served an important need for older, relationship oriented men but the sub lost sight of TRP principles and became chock full of just bad purple pill advice.

Without a doubt, the final straw had to be an MRP mod arguing in favor of marriage despite todays tyrannical laws that treat men like indentured servants. To be fair, the posters there are WAY ahead of your average Fat Dadbod who spouts "happy wife, happy life" while he gets disrespected by his cheating wife. Hopefully, we see them sharing good ideas here. Why here? TRP mods can nuke the trolls and femcentric advice on sight.

Now, I believe the MRP Mod does have a good marriage. I do too. So why do I vehemently disagree with marriage as a sexual/life strategy?

Its all risk to the man. Its all reward to the woman.

Since she controls sex, I have to counter with my commitment. If I pull the commitment, it costs me half my net worth and (likely)custody of any children. If she pulls sex, nothing happens. She holds all the cards which is key to the argument that its not in a man's interest to marry (legally, state sanctioned).

How can she have total respect for a man who cant leave (easily)?

I don't have perfect answers for men who want kids down the road. I don't know a lot about prenups. I could write 10,000 more words but for tonight... since /u/redpillschool worked hard on creating this forum within TRP... I wanted to at least start the conversation.
