Is it fair for the spouse who earns little to no income to become destitute after a marriage ends? It's going to be pretty hard for a stay at home parent to earn an income after being out of the workforce after several years to several decades.
I've been an advocate of partnering up with your equal in both assets, earning potential, and upbringing for a long time, but I also realize that I'm in the minority. Men will be men and women will be women.
Anyway, lots of dad bods out there these days.

I agree with this 100% and follow the same sentiments.
Zero interest in ever marrying a loser or someone that doesn't carry a career with somewhat equivalent means, nowadays especially where women are educated and have lots of opportunities.
I've never understood the types of guys who marry some province woman from a backwater third world country and when the marriage inevitably ends they're crying about getting taken to the cleaners for alimony and all that crap.
Idiots.
