Maybe because happily married men don't have time to talk about it.

I don't believe in marriage regardless. It's crap from the past and should stay there.
What if two people want to get married?
"The Patriarch"
Humans did just fine for millions of years without "the institution of marriage." I suggest that the "institution of marriage" is in fact a strong tool for government control.
It seems that many women lose sexual interest in their mate once they have successfully procreated. This seems to be rather significant incongruity between the sexes, and seems to beg the question about long-term monogamy. Many women also seem to want to continually test their mates to validate the strength of the relationship and the devotion of their mate. This gets really old, seemingly petty, and tiresome for many men.

Who says? Of the people I talk to, their intimacy gets better and more creative the longer they are married.

None of them "have to"... I mean, is someone holding a gun to their heads?
I can picture it now... sex scene, Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale:
BORIS
Nehtesheh... vat is metter vit yu? Vy von't yu kummink?
NATASHA
Oh Boereees... I am havink head ake...
BORIS STOPS HUFFING, PUTS TOKAREV TO NATASHA'S HEAD
BORIS

NATASHA

NATASHA
Oh.... Boris... Is so BIG... Is so HARD... I... I... I sink I em kummink...
OHHHHHHHHH... BORIS... I am havink climecks... Oh Boris... Boris... Boris...

Does that pretty well nutshell the situation, or have I missed something?

Then why are so many people getting divorced if it just gets better and better and better?
I can't explain the divorce rate except to suggest people have very short attention spans and probably get married for the wrong reasons. The point of the article in the OP suggested that single women who sleep around are hurting their chances. Based on my experience, I wouldn't sleep with a man to whom I wasn't married because I think good sex depends a lot on a good relationship and being able to do what you like, not what some random guy thinks I want.

Funny, that.
The more men were allowed to be men, and people to be themselves more generally, it seems the healthier and happier the population in question. Empire brought nothing but disease of spirit in its wake. It has destroyed literally everything it has touched. It has brought death and misery to the entire world, and for what? So we can have museums and theaters? Roadways and aircraft? For me, if a withered spirit is the price of public monuments and large, impressive edifices, then I say screw all of it. If men had any sense and real courage, they would turn their backs to all this death and turn toward life. I don't know if you can have the tech. with properly free life, but how does one purge the insanity from the minds of people that has been dragged across the milennia and expanded upon by each successive generation's ever deeper neuroses, courtesy of the fundamental disease of mind that Empire carries with it? I don't think it can be done.
You live in a real freak-show, don't you?
Seriously, I find Anaconda's description to be on the money in the vast majority of cases with which I am personally familiar. I've watched 20 years of marriage drain all the interest out of couples, only to end in divorce, some of them very bitter, but the really bad ones carrying with them a sense of deadness, as if the parties in question were simply going through motions, waiting for life's end to arrive and visit its mercy upon them. I wish this were an exaggeration, but it is really not.
If people want to get married, by all means they should. I would, however, endeavor to teach children about expectations, which appears to be nowhere on the educational menu these days. In the old days, children had their parents in front of them most of the time. The heard mom and dad screwing, arguing, making up, dealing with life, with them, with each other, and so on. These days tons of parents are literal strangers to their children in so many ways. We live largely isolated lives, what with faces buried in their stupid cell phones 19 hours/day. No wonder people don't know anything worth knowing.
I know there are those couples as you describe, but they are pretty uncommon when compared with the rest. Overall, I find the majority of adults' lives to be more like those of sad, lost children who go through motions that after a while they forget why they go through them, but keep on keeping on... because? They no longer know. That is just pathetic.
There seems to be two phases in the lives of many modern people: the raising children phase, which ends in merciful divorce at the end of 18 - 25 years of progressively worsening hell, and the "Now I'm going to go $#@!ing be happy and to hell with all y'all assenholes" phase. In that phase sometimes people reconnect with old high school or college flames, or just someone with whom life is very regular and calm and content. Then you get old and die.
This "until death do us part" thing with the judeo-christian marriage ceremony is idiotic, IMO, because most people cannot keep that promise... so why make it? Just makes you look like a keen douche. But if you stay because you gave your word, that empty and dead look in your eyes doesn't do much good, either.
Honestly, I think most religion does more harm than good, but that is another topic for no time in the future because it never resolves. Do what thou wilt, as I always say.

Depends on how you define "just fine". Prior to the existence of marriage, polygamy was the norm all over the world, and the wives did not get "complimentarian" roles. Men tended to marry women primarily to acquire land/riches/status/sire heirs.
Incredibly well-written piece. You're a fine writer.Funny, that.

does this mean you are unmarried?
That could be inconvenient...
But, yea, didn't mean to make light of the problem (well, yea I did, but that's neither here nor there).
As the laws are currently, I have no intention to marry any woman.
Nor do I intend to shout "******" at 3am in Harlem. I'm not a masochist.
