Marriage Is an Economy-But the Market Is Broken

Let's be honest:

Marriage was never just about love.

It's an economy.

Two people bringing different strengths to the table-pooling resources, talents, values, time, and DNA to build something greater than either could alone.

One pays for the house.
The other makes it a home.

One carries the child.
The other funds the journey.

One hunts.
The other prepares the meat.

That's how it worked.

It wasn't slavery. It was synergy.

-

But today?

Everyone wants to do the least and gain the most.

The goal is no longer legacy-it's leverage.

Marriage is now treated like a business pitch.
A sponsorship package.
A "get-rich" or "get-out" scheme.

We hear phrases like:

"I'm in my soft girl era."
"I can't do this for any man."
"If he can't buy the ring, I'm not saying yes."
"Six figures or nothing."

And on the flip side?

Men want to sleep with everyone but marry a virgin.
They leave children behind and still point fingers at single moms.

No One Wants to Build-Everyone Wants to Win

House chores are now slavery.
Raising your own kids? Oppression.

Marriage has lost its meaning-and become a competition.

And because women know they can't lose, the game is tilted.

Divorce is no longer heartbreak-it's liquidation.
Courts are now auction houses.

Prenups are essential.
DNA tests are non-negotiable.

Because in a broken economy, trust is dangerous.

We Are Now Marrying to Escape, Not Expand

Ask the average woman if she wants to marry.

She'll hesitate.

Ask her if she'd marry a rich man?

She says, "show me the altar" .

It's no longer about compatibility.
It's about probability-and payout.

Does he have money?
Status?
Assets?

That's the algorithm now.

And no one's asking:
Do we share vision?
Do we want the same future?
Can we build something that outlives both of us?

-

The Marriage Market Is Crashing-And Nobody's Talking About It

Raising another man's child used to be an oddity.
Now it's normal.

Abandoning your own children used to bring shame.
Now it's branded as "healing."

Everyone wants to be a boss.
But no one wants to collaborate.

-

So What's the Way Forward?

Marriage should be a merger of strengths-not a tug-of-war.

It should be:

- Purpose-driven, not pressure-driven.
- Aligned in values, not pursuit of vanity.
- Built on roles, not rivalry.
- Anchored in legacy, not lifestyle.

Because when marriage fails-society pays.

Kids lose fathers.
Homes lose structure.
And the next generation inherits confusion.

So here's the big question:

How do we rebuild this economy?

How do we redesign marriage to reflect trust, growth, and shared responsibility-rather than exploitation and entitlement?

We need new answers.
New models.
New honesty.

Because if we keep borrowing from broken narratives...

There won't be a future left to safeguard.

-

Let the thinkers respond.
Let the architects of legacy debate.

Because marriage isn't dying.

It's just begging to be reimagined.
