Now men need marriage more than women need it. The things that men get from marriage, the sort of stereotypical
00:00:06
things are still really important for the man. But the things stereotypically a woman was getting from the marriage,
00:00:11
she now doesn't actually need that stuff from a man. She can kind of get that herself because society shifted where
00:00:16
it's not a case that the woman stays home and raises the kids all the time. Now the woman's got her own money, her
00:00:20
own independence. She can leave you. I think that's true for a man. A wife may be the only confidant. That's not
00:00:27
true for women. Women have much better social support. But men and women both equally need high quality relationships
00:00:35
which is a different conclusion really. Both men and women really need committed
00:00:40
loving relationship but you know guys can survive in a relationship that is not as good and they can get a lot out
00:00:46
of it well whereas women can't. They need somebody to often times though this is changing but they need somebody
00:00:52
to cook. They need somebody to clean. They need somebody to do their laundry. listen to them.
00:00:58
To listen to them, uh to help them sometimes solve work problems or at least listen to their stresses.
