I think the real benefit is stability. It seems to me that you can do more with your life than chase tail all the time.
But the opposite of that stability is peace of mind. I'm engaged but love when she and the kids are out. I miss the quiet of my bachelor days.
I don't know if we will ever marry. And if this doesn't work, I'll never be in another relationship again. Will just spread my seed everywhere I go

From my experience, the only benefit is being able to be with my kids everyday and knowing they are straight. Other benefits are that I get unlimited quality yambs, but you can get that without being married. I come home to a cooked meal but you don't have to be married to eat good either. I don't have any benefits that an unmarried dude is missing out on, I think its the opposite

Just because you aren't married doesn't mean you're out there chasing tail.
If you are an independent, successful man with a good head on your shoulders, there really isn't any advantage to getting married.
At the end of the day marriage is a CONTRACT, which makes it advantageous to the woman not the man.

yep.
Traditionally you would pay the woman's family for her hand in marriage. In america it happens afterwards through divorce.
This is the land of doing everything backwards

Got married in July and emotionally nothing has changed (we were together 8 years before getting married), but the financial benefits are real. We save roughly 40% per month on car insurances and save damn near 50-60% per month on health insurance. I'm sure our tax returns will be nice as well. I was gonna be with her with or without the ring, so its nice to actually have extra money in our pockets every month now. The wedding cost was substantial in my opinion, but I did luck out on getting the engagement ring for a decent price, although all of our rings together wound up costing around 8 grand or so (I got a custom green lantern ring and she got a custom band to match her engagement ring and threw a little pink in to match Star Sapphire).
I don't necessarily care one way or the other about being married, as it was definitely much more her than I, but I'm ok with it.
I think I married a pretty girl and I still have a wandering eye, but I think that's pretty much human nature. She isn't a gold digger or a *****, so I sleep easy at night. You guys must have been burned pretty bad by girlfriends or use bad relationships as your barometer for how marriage works, which is silly. Get someone compatible that fits in with your goals in life and you'll be in a much better place to start that next level. Who knows what the future holds, but I'm sure as hell not a salty Stan about the potential problems marriage creates. I'm riding the wave and having a good time.

So many already setting themselves up for failure with these presumptions/excuses. Over 50% is high, but that doesn't negate that there are millions of other couples out there still going strong with assets actually being the least/last of their worries...
Dudes out here trying to live that Clooney life while looking like Popeye Jones with no actual assets regardless if they got married or not...

The advantage is you have someone to raise children with and do family things with during the holidays and vacations.
If you are like me and do not want children ever. There is absolutely no advantage other than more money/ someone to have your back through tough times..... If they don't leave you in the tough times.

I don't understand the benefits of marriage. I feel like it's another one of those socially "correct" things you're supposed to do that people particpate in without really thinking, but to each his own.

Just curious, did you dudes who are anti-marriage grow up in single-parent homes? A lot of my friends who grew up in houses with one parent, or parents who fought have a really cynical view on marriage and women in general.

I don't know, but I sure do get tired of people asking why I'm still not married yet, which is always followed by when are you ever getting married? meanwhile, I can't imagine I'd enjoy having the life of at least half of the people that ask me that question.

Well I'll repeat my post that the one benefit to getting married is to raise children, but I came from a married household, and its all the more clear that there are no other benefits. It's not cynical, it's the truth. Don't believe me... start naming things other than what's in my last post. I'll wait.......
If you are a soft/sentimental person who wants to feel like someone needs you, marriage maybe for you. But, it should be noted that you can choose to feel all those things outside of the institution of marriage without the forced aspect.
If you're religious, I suppose doing things reserved for marriage is living in sin... BUT (at least for Christians) ALL HAVE SINNED so if you're gonna pull the "so that you aren't living in sin" card... now what? Saved by faith not by works. If you guys feel sensitive about that subject then feel free to slip in the *HereWeGo.gif*

If a girl ever asked me "what are the benefits of me marrying you" 
, yall too hurt, cynical, pessimistic, and/or bitter. Fall in love with your best friend and live life.

How come people keep quoting this out of context? There are 8 main factors that can very well predict whether you will stay married or not. It's not just a crapshoot of tying the knot and hoping it'll work out.if wanted to go sky diving...

The factors are:
1) Parents marriage
2) Childhood experience
3) Length of dating - If you've been together longer than a year your odds are significantly higher
4) Age when getting married
5) Relationship between spouse & In-Laws
6) Premarital pregnancy - If you both had a kid before getting married, your odds of success decrease (50% divorce w/in 5 years)
7) Reasons for getting married
Religion - If you share a religious affiliation you can more openly communicate with one another
