    That’s my point though. Marriage is no that. You don’t care for a partner like you did in the 50s

      It’s even worse then, because back then a single income household was all that was needed.

      The point is that you should have the financial freedom to support a family on a single income. The “marriage” part isn’t what’s important.

      Double income, no kids, used to be a trope where the couple had all kinds of time and money to do whatever. Now it’s almost the minimum to not be homeless.
