Get married if you want to. It is a great institution, in spite of some problems.

My advice for women thinking of marriage is simple “Do not assume you know more!”

So many times back when I was dating I would have a woman who had never raised a child think that she, being female, knew more about child rearing than I who had actually raised kids!

That same factor is always a problem in gender politics. Women so often assume that they know more than a guy who has actually been out in the political trenches fighting for people’s rights.

Do not assume you know more. I’d suppose that is great advice for the men too.
