Give me a wife at 30

The following has nothing to do with the movie.

One of the reasons why society often persuades women to get married is that "it's better to have someone to take care of", and finally successfully let the woman become a nanny - the original meaning of this sentence is "it's better to have someone to take care of".
Another netizen said, "Most women in marriage take care of men, and it is men who can't live without the other half." "I have been in a tumor group to know how high the divorce rate is when women are sick (especially breast and cervix)... ..." "Isn't it better than a nanny? The nanny doesn't have to sleep with the male host, let alone give birth to a son for the male host. If the host hurts the nanny, it is a crime of intentional injury. It is not that domestic violence cannot be mediated. If the host is tortured and killed Nanny, that's intentional homicide, it's not torture, it's not going to be a seven-year sentence."
This may not apply to all marriages. There are "good men" who are willing to pay. I have seen them, just like I have seen someone win a lottery. But in more balanced relationships, women's unpaid giving and care is more common and visible.
What's more, the average life expectancy of women is slightly longer than that of men, and after the caregiver is sick, they have to go through the last lonely old age by themselves.
You will hear stories of husbands abandoning their wives for various practical reasons, disfigured, seriously ill, infertile, unable to take care of themselves, and nothing more than an ineffective sigh from the neighbors. On the other hand, "Zhangcun's good daughter-in-law" and "Li Zhen's good daughter-in-law" praised and moved women how to not give up their husbands. According to the traditions of the country, once you start to praise who has worked hard and who has been touched by selfless dedication, that is who will eat. The flesh of the people, the blood of whom they drink, and they will not be allowed to say a word.
It's not that women are noble in nature, they are bound by this medal, suppressed by this archway, and the cost of leaving is too great.
In fact, marriage does not have to be so utilitarian. It is calculated all day long who will contribute the most, who will pay more, who will rely on who, who will drag who will be dragged on, just like doing business with a partnership. If you think about it to this extent, it is better to be alone in life.
But if men demand women's care, service and even dedication on a long-term, large-scale, and structured basis, I think it's worth calculating. To let those who are always exploited not to care, and to let those who lose their rights not to be utilitarian, is the exquisite hypocrisy of those who benefit from fixed income.
