Me personally, I've accepted the evanescent and fleeting nature of marriage. I'm calculating from the position of my life being net positive after the divorce. I wont be blissfully running into matrimony expecting it to last. We simply don't have the restrictive economic and social institutions that forced women to stay married in prior generations, so I'll let the marriage do whatever.
I'll do it, but My conditions for marriage are social. I'm pragmatic. I'll only do it if my career requires it or if her family is in an industry I need to get into.
In both scenarios, I wouldve personally grown from the marriage in a tangible way. For example, if simply being in a union with her family nets me 200% increase in my income or in my business connections then I'll still be netpositive when a divorce inevitably cuts it in half to a respectable 100% increase from pre-marraige.
And no, I don't believe children alone make you net positive after a divorce. You can still get them biologically through a surrogate, abiologically through adoption, or biologically through civil union. So they aren't a good enough justification for marriage.
