The life commitment of marriage provides stability, especially for men. Explain
What will be an ideal response?
According to Ribar, this stability allows men to mature, making them more likely to find a job and think toward the future instead of engaging in risk-taking behaviors, such as drug and alcohol abuse. Marriage results in a feeling of interdependent financial responsibility to one another. Thus, married men and women are more likely to accept and maintain jobs that may not be all that personally rewarding, but are in the best interest of the couple/family in the way of economic rewards.
