A woman has sparked a heated debate on social media after asking what benefits men truly get from marriage apart from having children.
While some social media users argued that marriage provides emotional support, companionship and stability, others claimed many men carry most of the financial responsibilities without receiving equal value in return.
Some reactions read:
"Obviously talks like this comes from women who don't know their worth and think their husband did them a favour by marrying them. That 'apart from children' you mentioned is actually one of the biggest benefits. Let them see how much surrogacy costs."
"For me as a married man, the only thing that keeps me going is my kids. Their mum and I are like neighbours now. No intimacy. I just take care of the house and pay the bills. It's like that for most men."
"If I ever find myself begging my wife for intimacy, I would divorce and remarry. I wouldn't allow myself to be stressed."
"Even children are not always a benefit to men. Men shoulder the responsibilities, but after divorce the children are often seen as belonging to the mother."
"Children? A man can have children outside marriage. He can hire a chef and a housekeeper and have relationships without getting married. Why do men actually need marriage?"
"The childbearing aspect should never be ignored. Marriage is about building a family and continuing a legacy."
"Men do the absolute most in marriage just to keep the family name alive. Yet when the children succeed, it's always about making their mother proud. Nobody talks about the father's sacrifices."
"Marriage has always seemed one-sided. If a man chooses to marry, he should marry someone who truly values and appreciates him."
The video has continued to fuel discussions online, with many people sharing personal experiences and differing views on the purpose of marriage, the responsibilities of husbands and wives, and whether the institution still offers equal benefits to both partners.
