Why You Should Consider Rethinking Mariage And Do It With Eyes Wide Open
Cristiano Ronaldo’s breakup agreement with Georgina Rodríguez reportedly includes a lifetime monthly payment of around $121,000 and ownership of a €5 million mansion in Madrid.
Now, notice this arrangement ensures Georgina’s financial stability and that of their children in case of separation. Custody of the children is also granted to her.
Now, let’s pause and ask: What does the man get from marriage?
Many would say a wife brings companionship, children, peace, and a home, things often considered priceless.
Forgetting, the man contributes equally, he provides the children, peace, provision, protection, and love. While nurturing may lean toward the woman, he balances the equation with effort, work, and support.
Consider this, no woman gives birth without desiring children herself. Children are often a source of joy, fulfillment, and even security for women in the future more than it is for the fathers.
So the narrative that women do men a favor by having children is misleading because women are not willing to stay without children forever. Both partners bring value, just in different forms.
Ronaldo’s contribution is enormous. He started training at age 9, dedicating hours daily, often 5–6 days a week, to grueling workouts, strict diets, and relentless discipline to become one of the greatest footballers of all time. His effort built not just a career, but a lifestyle and fortune that women entering his life benefit from.
What does he truly gain from marriage? In reality, he may feel trapped. Whether he’s happy or not, leaving could mean risking everything his children, his family, and the life he’s built. Marriage, for a modern man, carries stakes far beyond love or companionship
The truth is, in modern marriage, a man risks losing freedom, control, or even custody of his children. It raises questions about the fairness of court regulated marriage for today’s man.
If you choose to marry, especially in the West, make sure it’s with a woman you’re truly willing to risk everything for, not out of convenience, social pressure, or assumptions. And ask yourself is it worth it.
My name is Dayo Aderinto, Imagine risking decades of freedom, effort, and wealth for the wrong person. It’s a stark reminder to value your effort, your life, and your legacy before exchanging it for love or companionship.
In case of separation, she looses only her husband and gains all including custody of children but Ronaldo loses it all.
Being a father is the new priceless
