“But that’s ok- because for the rest of the guy’s life, his wife will be cooking for him, cleaning up after him, picking up his socks from the floor, and maybe she is even working to support him in learning, etc etc. But she is willing to do all that because she knows that he cares about her and is sensitive to her needs.”
And he supports her and hires cleaning ladies for her. You are implying that the woman has the harder job during marriage. And this depends very much on the marriage. I think we need to try and make things as fair as possible at each stage.
