No I didn't mean health benefits, I meant health care, since your spouse is eligible for your insurance.
Can you explain what the risks are though?
Ooooh there was a study I read that married men are healthier than single and especially divorced men whereas for women it was the opposite. I thought you meant that.
In Canada you can have your girlfriend/boyfriend on your health insurance as long as you've been living with them for a certain number of years (I think 2?) so I see why gallos are over marriage.
Yeah the financial risks are huge...... women are not as ruthless and they're often the ones to put their jobs on the back burner for family. If they do get divorce most men don't even want 50/50 custody and the woman has to shoulder the full/most responsibility for the children. It's why it's mostly women and children who live below the poverty line.
