Do men want to get married, or not? Do Men Really Want to Get Married is the question being discussed in a CNN article about whether the stereotypical belief that men are dragged off to the altar to get married kicking and screaming is true or not. CNN reporter, Alex Wallen, claims to have interviewed dozens of men on how they approached marriage, where these men admitted that they had fantasized about popping the question, getting married, even having a wedding.

Wallen reports that numerous men reported having a light-switch moment when they decided they should get married to their significant other. Examples given include a life-altering event, such as one man who suddenly realized his love for his girlfriend when she helped him deal with the death of his father; or it might be something as simple as having so much fun playing arcade games together that you cant imagine yourself having this much fun with anyone else. One man decided it was time to get married when he became angry and balled-up his fists when another man made a pass at his then-girlfriend.

Real men are perceived as committing till death do us part for the wrong reasons they marry out of convenience or under duress, and they acquiesce, kicking and screaming all the way to the altar, according to the article. If recent statistics are correct, men are choosing to marry later in life, with the average age being 28 before experiencing their ah ha moment, which is a good thing. Nevertheless, there are still many young men and women getting married too young, and far too many couples get married for the wrong reasons and end up regretting it later.

According to one survey claiming men DO want to get married, married men reported positive feelings about being married, with 94% saying they were happier married than single, and 73% reported their sex lives were better. Of the single men included in the study, 53 percent said they were not interested in getting married anytime soon, saying at this stage in my life I want fun and freedom, while 47 percent said they wouldnt get married until they could afford to own a home.

Of the 1,010 men aged 25-34 who were surveyed, 569 were married. Of that group, 81 percent said they got married because it was the right time to settle down. The desire to have children was a major factor for 35 percent; only 15 percent said they married sooner than they wished because of pressure from their partner.

Why Men Dont Want To Get Married

Another study was conducted by the National Marriage Project at Rutgers University of 60 single, heterosexual men of different backgrounds, between the ages of 25-33. The project results revealed the top ten reasons why men wont commit, or dont want to get married.

They can get sex without marriage more easily than in times past.
They can enjoy the benefits of having a wife by cohabitating rather than marrying.
They want to avoid divorce and its financial risks.
They want to wait until they are older to have children.
They fear that marriage will require too many changes and compromises.
They are waiting for the perfect soul mate and she hasnt appeared yet.
They face few social pressures to marry.
They are reluctant to marry a woman who already has children.
They want to own a house before they get a wife.
They want to enjoy single life for as long as possible.

These findings may not be what women want to hear or believe, but relationship experts agree with the results of the study. Audrey Chapman, author of Getting Good Loving and Man Sharing, agrees with the studys detailed findings that the sexual revolution hasnt exactly helped women wanting to get married in their search for finding a husband.

All that stuff that grandma said about `Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free? is true. Women are making it too easy for men. Theyre giving sex away.

Now that theres more competition, women think that sex is the ticket to get a man when in fact its a sure fire way not to get him at all, Chapman reveals.

When men get lonely, all they have to do is call up one of their many women. And they call the one that theyre going to be able to spend the night with.

She says that nowadays it is common for many men to have a variety of women to cater to their various needs, including sex, companionship, conversation and even meals. Men can get all the comforts they need without making it legal.
