Who Benefits Most from Marriage – Men or Women? Why?
This question refers to normal everyday couples where both the man and woman are working regular jobs. Have at it…

I think they equally benefit from it. The reason because they both contribute to the household and what one lacks the other picks up. They make home and each other functional without a great deal of stress being on just one.

Marriage should be beneficial to both the man and woman equally. I think if one is benefitting more then something is wrong.

I think men benefit more from marriage, often because women are programmed to give more than they receive. Women’s roles have evolved to include work outside the home, yet still include all the homemaker/motherly duties as well. You won’t find many husbands holding it down in a household like a wife does. Maybe that’s why men get in more trouble, they have too much free time

I put my man to work, fuck that. If you don’t want to help with the chores, I tell him “You can go rent a MF room for $100 a week with no responsibilities.” Reality sets in and he gets to steppin. So it is mutual but my man has continuous unemployment problems so he prob. benefits more cuz he has back up were I am shit out of luck. No, just playin I am a woman of course I keep back up! Just a reminder to all you playboy bunnies wanted hunny, woman runz this, all this up in here and over there!HAHAHA

I KNOW men benefit more. I too look at my parents. And when they got married all my dad had to do was keep a job. And keep the cars running. My mom washed clothes, ironed, cooked, grocery shopped, washed dishes, kept the house clean all the time, registered my brothers and I for school, took us school shopping, sewed buttons on shirts and donned socks, budgeted the bills, went to PTA meetings, gave us baths, cleaned our rooms, planned birthday parties, and did every other domestic duty in the house. On top of all that she gave birth 4 times. My dad could get off work and kick his feet up.
I once told my dad that as much as I loved him, watchin him made me never wanna get married. He goes, why?
I said cuz when u got married, u gained a free babysitter, maid, cook, referee, seamstrist, sex partner, and everything. And when my mom married u, she gained a lot of work. He just looked at me and blinked.

I think women benefit more because most men pay the mortgage and the bulk of the bills. Yes, a lot of women cook, clean, and stuff around the house but men who really care about their families take a major part in raising the kids, cleaning, and family outtings.
Every person is different. To me duties are no longer defined according to gender. I know how to cook so my girl doesn’t have to cook most days. I am a clean person so she doesn’t have to clean up behind me. There are certain things that as a man i take pride in doing. Like she will never have to change a flat tire, get an oil change, put the trash out, wash the car or clean up behind me. And i pay the bulk of the bills and let her take care of little stuff and spend her money how she wants because i see she really is a caring woman who has my back. So she’s not just off spending her money however she wants and then looking at me with her hands out, like “give me!”

Let me tell u, u are one In a million. Most men know women do most of the work in a marriage! Most men can’t or won’t even cook us a hot meal! Bankin on the fact that we as women can all cook! Well I can’t cook, but damn, I like when a man cooks for me!
I know men benefit more in most marriages, and a lot of men agree wit me, which is why they aint up in this post!!!! Lol

Lol nah i think it’s equal but a lot of women sometimes have the option of not working at times because dudes are the bread winners. It alleviates a lot of the pressure and stress when a dude is paying the mortgage, car note, saving for the vacations and handling the physical aspects of maintaining a home. My mother taught me how to cook so that is something i am good at so i would never let my girl out work me in anything. My woman gets pampered and most REAL men do that for their women.

Have 3 of them and all but 1 is married. You wouldn’t want any parts of the one not married lmao. He’s busy sowing his wild oats all over the United States lol. HE’s pretty str8t up with women. Tells them off the bat that he’s just trying to get the draws and is willing to be good friends. If i didnt have a girl i would probably be the same way but she’s too good to me. Damn sometimes a nigga just wishes she would cheat lmao so i could do my thing for like a month and then jumpback into a relationship lol. Jokes. Seqoiya i know you be reading my comments. You the only one lol.

i am married and i feel that we both benefit b/c were both working towards a better life for one another…there r some who get married for other reasons but that aint us.

clearly, both should benefit, unfortunately it’s not always realistic to think that, you have some controlling men out there who want their wives to stay home, cook and clean, and do nothing else, and you have some women who don’t appreciate the good man God gave them, so both screw it up

A healthy marriage should be 50/50 or somewhere pretty darn close. It’s disappointing to watch yourself give way more than your mate. I think both benefit.

I think in most cases men do… this my 2nd marriage. My husband and I don’t have any mutual children, nor any at home. I know that I do most of the cleaning, all of the cooking (ALL OF THE BILL PAYING), most of the budgeting!!
But he can fix my car, do electrical work, carpentry work around the house… so some days it comes out even.

I think it depends on the people. If both are working on the same thing for the marriage then it would make it an equal benefit for both.

Well i think that people benefit from what they have accepted as part of there spouse’s habits. My parents gained each other when they got married, my dad ran our house like the armed forces trains soldiers. While my mom gave us support and structure. My parents taught me how to be self sufficent, so i can cook/ grill, wash clothes/dishes, i can fix a rip or sew back a button. My parents are an excellent team, a team that i hope to one day mimic. My girl wants for nothing, I pay the bill and buy the food. She cooks, cleans and pay for our nights out.

M.O.- what up peeps? Thanks for showin’ the love. In my experience being around married couples (I’m not married and never have been), I’m of the opinion that both benefit equally – that is, if the husband is a TRUE man, and the woman is a TRUE woman. True meaning both know and embrace their roles. If that is how it really is, no one party should benefit more than the other. It is an equal and complimentary partnership in every sense. If one is benefitting more than the other, something is outta wack.

I benefit as well as my husband, he has chores, as well as me, he cooks, washes clothes, cleans, we both can work on cars, him a little more than me, but i know how to do brakes, change oil, among a lot of other things with a car, we are both great contributors to the house, home comes first! i wouldnt have any slackers around me period!

I’m not married so I really can’t speak on this…but I would assume BOTH would benefit..isn’t it a 50/50 thing as someone previously stated!
