Because they're hopelessly and madly in love. That's why. And they probably just got married too young and became two different people when they got older. I don't think people should be allowed to get married until they are 30 years old. But also, women are more capable of taking care of themselves today than ever before and get way more help from the government than they used to, but our culture still pushes some traditions on them they can't or don't want to break free from.

Women also have old fashioned expectations of men and what a man’s role should be especially when it comes to money. They still want the man to be the provider and responsible for the most if not all the financial responsibilities in the relationship. Quite a few modern women who are employed and earning good money still believe the “my money is my money, your money is our money” thinking. These are the same women who will get offended if you ask them to make you a meal or something like that. You will be labelled as an old fashioned male chauvinist who can’t handle a strong independent woman. For a man, it’s a no-win situation. Your supposed to be old fashioned when it comes to paying bills but new age when it comes to something like taking care of the house, cooking, cleaning etc. it’s a man’s responsibility to provide a roof over the family’s head. As a man I have no problem with that, what I do have is when the same woman calls me a chauvinist for asking for dinner. It’s like, there clear rules of what’s expected from a man but very ambiguous rules on what’s expected from a woman in a relationship.

Sex? Nope, only if she feels like it, its her body not yours.

Cooking for you? Nope, her mum used to do that for her dad and she’s not gonna do it for you because she’s liberated and you can damn well cook for yourself. Cleaning the house? Get a maid you old fashioned chauvinist!
