men men....F + M = Marriage?

…they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion…1 Corinth 7:9.

Now that is what Paul said in the Bible not just to the man of his time, but to us too. It is still a wonder why the masculine Species has continuously been found lacking in the area of commitment to marriage!

At least 70% of all men that get into marriage are driven by 90%, the desire to quench that fiery passion and 10%, other factors. However, the mind of man does not become oblivious of his prior fears birthed by his perception of what marriage will cost him; sacrifice of self, the loss of privacy, embracing irrational archives of 99.9% feminine shopping lists and more... Apart from that, on the coming of their first child, a greater fear creeps in, the fear of loosing the desired attention of from his wife! Being the fairer sex, the woman's nature drives her attention to the new born and while she increasingly gets consumed by it, the man's fears awaken!

Unfortunately, it brings along with it a new prompting, the urge to get out of marriage becomes even stronger than the one that got him into it..
His understanding of love being black & white (as we all already know) he joins the multitude!. No wonder, more than 70% of the married men wish they weren't married
and just a few more single men are out there willing to take the risk of getting married because of the fear that half their lives will be invested in strategic planning on how to get the most out of it with the least input or get out!

Well, as we all know, no one writes to be understood but rather to understand...marriage is not a bad thing… give it a try, after all,

"Our friends seldom profit us but they make us feel safe....
Marriage is a scheme to accomplish exactly that same end."(Henry Louis M.)
