A statistical fact is that male earnings are directly correlated to marriage. This happens because the woman is often the person who gives up her aspirations to accommodate a male’s career path. This is backed up with citations in my articles I have written. Without the loving support of my wife I would be half the man (Literally) and maybe a fraction of the earnings. Men/Women need to be valued for holding a family together. Its worth a pretty penny. And yes men women deserve half of everything you both accrued during marriage if you get divorced.
