Why do men really marry?

In my book, I examine fifty reasons why men choose marriage over single life. To mentions a few, let me start with these: 1) to enjoy the symmetry of a beautiful woman; 2) to purchase a woman to take care of his every need; 3) to find a personal therapist; 4) to develop justification for financial success. Men view marriage as a gamble; win or go home empty handed.

What are some reasons you have found for male choices?

Some unusual reasons did surface during my interviews. Here are a few: 1) to see if a marriage to a different type of woman will be more successful; 2) to pay for his sins now instead of later; 3) to stop the vicious cycle of sleeping with pick-up women; 4) to find out if love really exists. Re-marriage begins a new philosophy in mate selection; changes are made to adjust for real life over make-believe.

What are the major factors in successful male selection?

Here are a few to ponder: 1) find out what you need and stick with your findings over passions; 2) let initial passion run its course before approaching marriage; 3) take a good look at your potential mate's behavior before marriage instead of after; 4) set high standards for yourself because you deserve the best possible opportunity for success. Failure is heart breaking and catch up time is valuable time to loose on the road to happiness.

What are some pitfalls men find when marrying too soon?

Take a few moments to think through these: 1) men tend to believe great sex is a sign of a great marriage; of course it is not; 2) a poor choice can easily be forgotten; 3) children will be fine if I decide to divorce - they will understand; 4) differences will be settle as soon as we marry.
