I don’t even think it’s that. I think they think women leave men for no good reason and good men are usually happy in marriages. Probably they also think that being stuck in a marriage will make people work on it more.
As someone happily married all that’s bullshit. Marriage is hard work and the fact that my wife can and will leave me if she decides she’s less happy with me in her life than without inspires me to always put in that work and to keep improving. And the same goes in the other direction. Our love inspires and pushes us to be worth each other’s time, energy, and life.
