Is bachelor life really the good life? Playing the field, traveling the world, and focusing on career sounds better than tying the knot. But is it possible that married men have more sex and make more money than their single counterparts? Brad Wilcox, sociologist at the University of Virginia, explains.

Mr. Wilcox makes an excellent case of the benefits from marriage – for society, for spouses, for employers. That is, in this video, the beneficiaries from a single man getting married are all 3rd parties.
What about the individual man? He is working harder, has to absorb more responsibility, has higher bills, has less time to himself, and a lot more worry. Oh, and a shorter life span, which Mr. Wilcox did not mention. From this video, it is argued, everyone benefits from the man getting married – except the man!
If this was the case for marriage, there is no logical reason for a man to get married.
So why get married? For Love. The Love of one’s wife, the Love from one’s children, is an experience unmatched by anything else in this world. The single man may have the Love of his parents, and as genuine as it is, it carries a component of being a dutiful Love. The Love from a spouse has no such component. The Love of a spouse and from one’s own family is a Love worth earning.
A typical single man does not generally care all that much about how society is improved, or how his employment is improved, for his making of the sacrifices attendant to being married. A married man cares very greatly about the well-being and improvement and protection and safeguarding of the one’s who Love him.
That is why a man should get married.
