The Case of Marriage for Men

Dennis Prager argues that marriage is the key mechanism forcing men to grow up. He contends that male nature is inherently non-monogamous, and commitment to a woman provides the structure that replaces boyhood pursuits like parties and casual sex with responsibility and maturity.

On today's episode of Timeless Wisdom. The believer in God has to account for the existence of one thing: evil and suffering. The atheist has to account for the existence of everything else. That's big. It has served in my life at moments of doubt to be a very, very persuasive argument. That's coming up on Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager.

I'm old-fashioned.
I like two sexes. And another thing, all of a sudden I don't like being married to what is known as a new woman.
I want a wife, not a competitor.
Competitor. Competitor. Talk about it a bit, this crying in the morning thing, this depression, you know. Let's get that fixed.
That's what men think, isn't it?
What? Unless you've got the answer, unless you can say, oh, I know this bloke in the Essex Road who could fix that, then there's no point bothering. How do you write women so well? I think of a man and I take away reason and accountability. I love him. I love him.
And I don't care I don't care what you think. I love him for the—
for the man he wants to be, and I love him for the man that he almost is. What do people have rows about, eh? Money, sex, sex, money, he wants, she doesn't want. She wants, he doesn't want? Women have always been a big problem to me, Dr. Fosbend. Are you listening, Doctor?
Yes, yes, yes, go on, go on.
Every week that last one just brings this big smile to my face. I find that so cute, so funny. Hi everybody, this is the Male-Female Hour on the Dennis Prager Show. Every week this hour is devoted to the subject of men and women, and sometimes, by the way, we get into very difficult, very painful areas. And sometimes very adult areas, and then I warn people that little kids should not be listening. This is not that case today. Everybody should be listening today on this subject that I have, and it will still get into painful areas. In fact, I can't— it's almost superfluous to say that talking about male-female issues, you get into painful areas. There are so many painful areas between the sexes, and that is, uh, that is the way it is because they, they have very different natures, and sometimes they, they coincide and sometimes they don't. Anyway, welcome. I'm Dennis Prager, and this is indeed the subject today, and that is I would like to make, and I will indeed make, the case for marriage for men. So this should interest the two groups out there, men and women. The case for marriage for men, because a lot of men argue, what do I need this for? It goes against my nature. My— the, the male nature is not monogamous. Women's nature is far more monogamous. Whether, whether you believe in divine or evolutionary creation, uh, if the, the female is, uh, with her one egg and her pregnancy and her nest-making nature, much more driven to creating a stable one-person, uh, one-person home. Uh, she is much, uh, she is not sexually driven to every male body that walks along the way. And the male is the opposite. Never gets pregnant, never has the consequences built in of pregnancy, is out there to inseminate, biologically speaking, not morally speaking, to inseminate as many females as possible for the sake of the reproduction of the population. Just look at the animal kingdom. I remember when I had 40 chickens, about 10 of whom were roosters and 30 were hens, and the roosters spent the day jumping on top of hens, and the hens spent the day running away from roosters. That was basically the life of the chicken. And that is— that really summarizes a male-female. That's why I call this the Male-Female Hour, not the Man-Woman Hour. It's about men and women, but I call it male/female because I want to go to the deepest part of the natures of the two sexes. So, for so many reasons, the case— now the case, by the way, has to be made to a lot of young women too today, because they have been so brainwashed, and I can only use that word, against their own natures. Oh, it's a patriarchal institution, and by the way, I will do that. I will, I will address that issue vis-à-vis young women in another edition, if you will, of the Male-Female Hour, or even today if you want to raise it in a question to me. But men have to be persuaded. Men have to be persuaded. And, and our societies, in fact every civilization worthy of the name civilization, has been successful in persuading, even cajoling men into getting married. And one of the ways they do it, and this is going to be one of my arguments for guys to get married, is it makes you a man. There are a number of battles that we males fight with ourselves, and I'll give you two of them, uh, that we should engage in. One is the battle to be a perpetual boy. That is our nature. Society and values, and especially religion, tell us to be men and not boys. And by the way, with the collapse of what we call Judeo-Christian values in American society, the, uh, of the— a lot of men do not battle their, their instinct to stay boys. Hugh Hefner is a classic example. Maybe a wonderfully nice guy, that's not my point, but he is in most men's eyes a boy. Now a lot of men think he's a lucky boy. That's a separate issue for another, another time. It's interesting, they're doing a documentary, they're making a documentary on Hugh Hefner's life, and they've invited me to be one of those. I have to call them, in fact. Let's, let's Remind me, and I will be one of those interviewed, and I will make this point that without commenting on whether he's a nice guy or not, I have no way of knowing either way. He is, he is in my eyes an old boy, and that is true. It's not because of his age. If he were 40, I'd say he was an old boy. Uh, and, and it's, uh, it's, it's a life of toys, parties, and girls. There's a time for toys, parties, and girls. It's when you're a boy. And so that is one of the battles that men have in life. Do I want to remain a perpetual boy, or do I want to become a man? For the vast majority, there is almost nothing true for every single human. I think the Pope, though he has not married, is not a boy. I do not look at the Pope as a boy. I regard him as a full-fledged man. But of course he's not spending his life on girls, toys, and games, okay? So, or on parties, I should say. That was the third one. So, so of course there are exceptions, but overwhelmingly what transforms us from boy to man is a woman— his commitment to women, not just having a woman. It's no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, 10,000 times no! Its commitment to a woman, and the way in which a man commits through marriage in the final analysis. So that is one battle that men— if you want to be a man, and increasingly there are many who don't because there's no price paid, because there's no stigma, no stigma attached to being a perpetual boy. There was in American life and in Western life until very recently, but the age of stupidity ushered in by the baby boomers in the '60s and '70s has removed that stigma. And indeed, often uh, said, uh, often rewarded such men. The other battle— the first is versus my being, the battle against my being a perpetual boy. The second for men is the battle against their being just a male. I'll put it to you in a very simple way about, uh, men and miniskirts. This is what I have often said. The male in me loves them. The man in me doesn't. And that is that in, in a nutshell is the difference between male and man. Now you want your man to retain his male instinct. You don't want him to drop that entirely. He's been— then he becomes a feminized man. Now there are some women who think that that's what they want, but when they actually have to live with one Uh, they— there's a certain anxiety that builds in them because he's not really fully man. A man includes male, but a man who only remains a male and not a man is not a man, is not worthy of being regarded as such. So men have the battle with their maleness. The battle though is not to— is not to get rid of it any more than you should fully get rid of the boy-ness in you. That's, that's, that's that, that livewire, fun-loving, freedom-loving part. You just have to learn how to channel it, and, and a woman has to know how you can, how she can live with it and help you with that. So it's not a, it's an issue of channeling it. 1-800-PRAGER-776. I am making the case for marriage for men here, and it all leads to one great conclusion that I will bring to you when we come back on the man-woman hour, the male-female hour on the Dennis Prager Show. This episode of Timeless Wisdom will continue right after this.

Now back to more of Dennis Prager's Timeless Wisdom. Prager it is. This is the Male-Female Hour. Every week at this time, an hour devoted to issues related to men and women, and sometimes they get very tender and difficult because I really try to address every difficult issue with regard to the sexes. And sometimes, in fact, I tell you kids shouldn't listen. This is not one of those cases, uh, at least the latter part. It's still difficult issue. The case for why guys should get married, because it so runs against male nature to commit the whole life to a woman. And therefore I am making that case, and I talked about the man versus boy and man versus male issue that every one of us guys have. I have to, uh, I want— there's a part of me, me being any male, that wishes to be a perpetual boy. Basically toys, parties, and girls. And there is a part of every man that just wants to be male and not a man. All right, so let me take some of your calls because it all leads up to this. This is— and here's the punchline— do you want to be a man? If you do, you— the— in, in all but a handful of exceptional cases like a Roman Catholic priest, let's say. Although there are undoubtedly priests— I'm sure priests would tell me that there are priests who don't grow up. I'm sure that that exists. But, uh, but I, I would be, I would be wrong from my own experience knowing that there were priests who have surely become men. But it's hardly lack of commitment that is a problem there. They are committed. They, they don't live a life of toys, parties, and girls. 1-800-PRAGER-776. 1-800-PRAGER-776. And we have some very good calls here. Don't— don't— if you got through, do stay on. And we begin with Philadelphia and Eddie. Hi, Eddie. Dennis Prager. Thanks for calling.
I know. Thank you, Mr. Prager. It's good to talk to you.
Thank you.
I, um, well, I wrestle with the, the inner bully in me all the time, and so I saw but, uh, you know, it's good of you to bring it up, that, uh, I have a lot of hobbies, uh, two in particular: collecting comic books and playing video games that I've had since I was prepubescent. And, uh, I, you know, I've definitely had to, uh, limit myself as an adult in how much time and money I invest in these hobbies.
Are you married?
Uh, no, I'm in a committed relationship.
So why have had You've had to limit yourself because you've had to make a living?
Well, because yes, I have to make a living and I want to— some of my energies I want to focus into, you know, maybe greater professional pursuits.
Yeah, okay, so it's been professional reasons, not female-related reasons?
Professional, financial, maybe some female-related.
Okay, go on.
And, well, I get a lot of comments from family and other, you know, other random people about, "It's time for you to stop reading comic books, it's time for you to stop playing video games," and I often rebut that, well, a lot of— I don't look at my hobbies as any different than a lot of men's hobbies like sports or cars or any number of other hobbies. And I was wondering if when you say that we have to, you know, to become a man sort of restfulness, does that mean giving up some of those hobbies?
Well, no, it means giving up some of the time, but it doesn't mean giving up the hobby. And a woman who loves her man, who has hobbies, knows that and may even, if he wants, participate with him. Most women are not interested in video games, so that's pretty much a a non-starter. But a woman who loved you, you would work out that, look, honey, I am yours and everything, but I want my hour to play a video game every day. And then she should let you do so, in my opinion.
You know, I'm actually really lucky in that regard. My girlfriend and I, despite having different hobbies, she's really understanding.
Yeah, my hobby, right? Well, you gotta make sure it lasts. The— this is another issue for another time, and that is all of the wonderful things people say prior to marriage that tend to go by the wayside afterwards on some occasions. I mean, it just happens. It's like people may be non-moody before marriage and then be rather moodier afterwards. In fact, one subject that I, that I was talking to somebody about that would fascinate me, uh, uh, because it happened in, in a case— not, not in my case. So that when people say it happened to a friend, sometimes they mean themselves. It's not me. But, but I, I wonder if this is at all common, that a— the person you marry changes within the first year, radically changes. It's an interesting question that I wonder how often it's happened. But anyway, that's a totally separate subject for another time. Now, I will say this at the outset, and I, I, I, I intellectually, I think I'm wrong. My gut thinks I'm right, that, uh, video games and guys, you do associate with younger men. You would do— there are hobbies you don't associate with boys. Only, and there are hobbies that you, that you, uh, do associate with boys only. I mean, if one— if, if I would find it funny if I saw my father playing a video game. Now why? So that's that. So there, you know, he raised that, he raised a specific there. It's one I have to think about more. But in general, guys, yes, a woman you love, and if you love your woman, you, you have your hobbies. You don't give up everything you love when you marry. Don't think of it that way, and women should not think of it that way. All right, Louisville, Kentucky, and, and Cornell. Dennis Prager. Hi, Cornell.
Hi, Dennis. Um, my, my question pertains to, um, you saying that a relationship, a committed long-term relationship with a woman uh, makes a man a man. What about a man who has a relationship with a man, committed, long-term, um, especially in light of the recent ruling out in California? Will he never become a man?
It's a very powerful question, and I have struggled with that a great deal. There are the— first, commitment in and of itself helps a, a boy become a man. So that kind of— that's why I didn't— after all, that's why I purposely didn't rule out Catholic priests, right? Because they by definition can't commit to a woman. So, uh, there are the— the— but as I said, there are those who do and there are those who don't grow up. And there are gay men who committed to a man and, and grow up, but, but, uh, it's harder. And I want you to stay on. Are you gay?
No, no, I'm not.
All right, I want you to stay on though. This is a very— I've given this thought and I— there are more— there's more to my answer because there are challenges that are specific to gays and this is one of them. It can be surmounted, absolutely, but it is a challenge and I'll explain why when we come back. This episode of Timeless Wisdom We'll continue right after this.
We live in a time where the moment you question the narrative, you're told to stop thinking and start complying. That's why what Angel is doing matters.

Now back to more of Dennis Prager's Timeless Wisdom. All right, you're listening to The Dennis Prager Show. Actually, now that I think of it, I didn't really need to keep Cornel on. I'm just going to answer the question. So forgive me, Cornel, and anyway, you really, uh, I just wanted a response. He asked a very good question. This is the Male-Female Hour. Every hour— every hour— every week at this hour, I have an hour on men and women. And I'm making the case for marriage for men, and I'm speaking about how boys become men when they commit to a woman. So he asked the obvious question, well, what about a man who doesn't commit to a woman but commits to a man, or gay men, gay men in general? And, uh, This is a, uh, as honest and perhaps wrong-headed, I, I acknowledge, response, but as honest as I can give. A gay man can certainly be a man and not a boy. I mean, that, that's a given. How, how— and there are, obviously. However, because they don't commit to a woman by definition, I think that there are greater obstacles before a gay man growing up from, from boy to man than there are for a straight guy who commits to a woman. So because it's not just commitment, after all, there are single straight guys who are committed to jobs, right? Very, very responsible in their jobs, but they, but they, but they didn't grow up. Hugh Hefner is very— has been very responsible Dennis Prager as publisher of Playboy. But I don't see him as a man, I see him as a boy. So it is a— again, the boy is toys, parties, girls. Now for a gay guy, it could be toys, parties, guys. And for very, very many gay men, it is toys, parties, guys. In fact, advertisers know that. They know that the richest, the most spending on consumer goods subgroup in America are gays, especially gay men, because they spend a lot on themselves, on cars, on photographic and stereo equipment, on trips, on hotels. On furniture or whatever. And so a gay man can of course become a man as opposed to the boy, but because it's not a commitment to a woman, it is a bigger challenge. Well, and it would begin obviously with some commitment and not going— if he goes from man to man or boy to boy, then obviously it's the same as a heterosexual guy going from girl to girl. Which, by the way, is a gay man's nature to go from man to man to man to man, which is the proof whenever people say, well, the reason that men go seek a lot of women is because of societal influence. I said, well, really? Then how do you explain gay men? The gay— gays— gay men are the— and gay women are the proofs of the difference of male and female sexual nature. They are the living proof. And so, uh, and so it is a bigger challenge for a gay man not to live the life of a boy, but it can be done. And that's the most honest answer that I can give. And it was a great question, Cornell, and I thank you, uh, for that. And let us go. I'm talking, uh, again, uh, to, uh, uh, to all of you about The Case for Marriage for Men, 1-800-PRAGER-776, 1-800-PRAGER-776, Denver, Colorado. Charles, this is Dennis Prager. Thank you for calling.
Hi, Dennis. Pleasure to talk with you.
Thank you.
I was noticing, listening to the conversation, about 9 years ago I left my hometown, I got married, and when I now go back to visit my old friends who haven't been married, they have been so far, uh, They've been far less— so much more unproductive over the last 9 years. They're essentially the same people they were when I left at age 21.
That's a great phrase. Essentially the same people, just older.
And all their time and resources are spent so much on chasing after or impressing women. While being married, I've been able to travel, I've been able to get an education, I've been able to read and volunteer.
That's right.
It's been incredible.
I don't think— and here, thank you, that was a great call, Charles— I don't think that there is a man listening, even if you've had a lousy marriage, who will deny that you are mature today because you, you were married. I don't think there is one who could say, I got less mature after I married. 1-800-PRAGER-776, the male-female hour on the Dennis Prager Show. Dennis Prager here. This is the Male-Female Hour. Every week this hour is devoted to the subject of men and women. I'm making the case for men why to get married, given men's nature, which is, uh, not monogamous. Why would a guy get married? And, and I'm surprised nobody called in and said, well, you know, one reason that guys don't get married is, uh, so, well, yes, that's true, they don't want to commit and all this, and it's more fun theoretically being single. But also, you know, there's so much divorce anyway, you hear that a lot. But if you don't raise it, I won't respond. Anyway, that one would apply to both men and women. Ah, you know, there's a 50-50 chance I'll divorce anyway, a lot of people say. Whether they're statistically right or not is not my point, that's what they say. And of course, I've always found that to be a non sequitur. I don't find that related to the original proposition. Because first of all, even if you do divorce, it is better to have been married. There are people who differ with me on that, uh, and I, I respect that. But I, uh, since I believe that marriage matures you, and maturing, uh, is a major, major value in life, then obviously I'm for it. Uh, let's go to, uh, more of your calls. 1-800-DENNIS-PRAGER, 776-877-243-7776. Cleveland, Ohio. John, hello John, Dennis Prager.
Hi, uh, thank you for taking my call.
Thank you for calling.
Uh, I guess the point I wanted to make is take a little bit of exception about the purpose of marriage. I often agree with Ann Coulter, but this is one case I'm going to take exception. If I asked you the purpose of eating, you would say nutrition, right? And yet good eating habits make for better nutrition. Well, the purpose of marriage is to bring children into the world, to start families. And so making men out of boys certainly makes for better families and a better environment for raising the children, but it's not the purpose of the marriage. The purpose of the marriage is to bring children into the world.
Yeah, yeah, but I, I, I'm arguing— I'm not making the case for having children. I, I will— that's another subject for another time. I think people should have children, and in fact, the more the merrier as far as I'm concerned. Uh, when good people have a lot of children, the world is made better.
Well, but then all the exceptions, you know, to a male-female marriage start to make sense if you say, well, you know, it's not about commitment and it's not about loving relationships. Ultimately, it's about families. And all right, all right, well, okay, a relationship to bring children into the world, so it's by definition not a marriage, right?
Oh, wait, there are two separate issues here. I'm making the case to men why they should get married, and you're telling me it's the best way to bring children into the world.
And I always wanted—
we're not— we're not—
so I wanted to get married.
Yes, that makes perfect sense. I, I agree with you. If you want to be a dad, you should get married. You're right. But, but I'm trying to persuade guys— I'm not trying to persuade guys to be dads right now. I'm persuading them to get married. And there are a lot of people who want to get married who already have children. Let's say they're divorced. Tens of millions of people already have children. They don't want more children. Should they not get married? There are many people, many women out there beyond childbearing age. Should they not have? Or men who shouldn't be having children. I don't agree with having children when you're 70. All right, I mean, men who do, they do. That's it. It's not a crusade I'm fighting against, or that I'm fighting to oppose that. But there is an age where I think people shouldn't be parents anymore. Be that as it may, Uh, I am making the case not for dadhood. I'm very precise on these things. I may be precisely wrong, but I'm very precise. The argument is, why should a man get married? Why should a man get married and have children is another argument. That's not the one I'm making. And, and it is first and foremost, and even biblically, when I have a feeling that my caller comes from a religious background It says, therefore a man shall leave his mother and his father and cling unto his wife and be as one flesh. That is a divine— those who believe that there were divine statements, it is a divine statement in Genesis. It doesn't say, therefore a man shall leave his mother and father and cling as to his wife and have children and they shall be as one flesh. There is an end in itself in bonding with a— for a man, there is an end in itself in bonding with a woman. It is not merely a vehicle to children. That's the argument that I am making. And let's go to— stay, actually, not go to— let's stay in Cleveland, Ohio. And Randy, hello Randy.
Hi there, long-time listener. And Joe, you, uh, probably agree with you 90% of the time, and when I disagree, it is mostly about relationships.
Okay.
I think you have somewhat of a career and I was objective to the result, and I was Listening to you, I didn't hear the first half hour, but when you were— it takes a marriage to make a man from a boy. I'm thinking of all the married friends that I have and the single friends, and I think a lot of the married guys are boys because they can't cook and they can't clean, and their mama packs their clothes when they travel. And I look at my single friends, where many of them are motivated, they do far more things So this is— and I sit back and admire, you know, both sides, but I think a whole lot more of the married guys envy the single guys and the opposite, having had both.
I, I take it you're single?
I have been for 19 years. I was married for 14.
Okay. All right.
All right.
No, no, I assumed you're single because, I mean, you know, I think you, you, uh, there's a certain defense of your own status involved in what you said, which is fine, which is fine. I don't believe for a nanosecond that your single friends are mature than your married friends. I just don't believe it, Randy. The fact that they, they pack their own clothing, their single friends, that that has now become a criterion or characteristic of manhood is a statement of the low level to which manhood has sunk. I mean, I happen to like packing my own stuff, but that's beside the point. I will say, in fact, the guy who has a woman pack his thing may be very manly. I think it's a terrific thing. I think it's magnificent. I mean, that's a very odd criterion for what makes a man. A man is made by being responsible for a woman. That is the single biggest thing in being a man. The single biggest. There are many other things why the Pope is a man, but that's the biggest. Back in a moment. I'm Dennis Prager. This episode of Timeless Wisdom will continue right after this.

Now back to more of Dennis Prager's Timeless Wisdom. You might want to play this for— if you're a woman dating a guy and you want to marry and he's, uh, ambivalent about commitment, you might want to play in this hour. Go to prageradio.com and you can get any of my of my shows, obviously, and certainly this one. I've been making the case for guys about the, the fighting against our perpetual desire to be a perpetual boy, and that a man is made a man beyond anything else by commitment to a woman. And ask any guy who has done so, are you mature today? All right, let me take, uh, let me take Fort Worth, Texas, and Michael. Michael, Dennis Prager, hi.
Hey Dennis, big fan.
Great, thank you for that. Thank you.
Oh, you're very welcome. As a young adult, I just wanted to comment on that. Um, I'm single and, and productive as well, and you know, I do feel that sometimes you have people that are my age and kind of stagnant, and it's kind of the, you know, they're older but doing the same thing. But at the same time, I don't want to rush off and get married just to prove that I'm mature, you know.
No, I agree, of course not. But, but it is one of the things that happens. And if you want to be a man, and if that is a goal, you should get married. That doesn't mean that you stand on the street, say, want to be mature, looking for female, come over, right? You know, obviously, obviously you're right. You want to love the person that you are growing into manhood with. I agree with you.
Right, I just sometimes I feel like young people kind of look for that to, I don't know, maybe subsidize something that's not right in their life, you know? Yeah. And sometimes, and let me know what you think, I mean, that can be kind of a bad way to go about it. Anyway, I'll hang up. Thank you though.
Yeah, all right, well, that's true. By the way, that's another subject, the whole love question. We're gonna— I'm gonna deal with that on another, another case, uh, Michael. Thank you.

Hi, Dennis.
Hi.
I was feeding the baby and listening, and so I may have missed exactly what you said, but I thought you said that nothing will make a man more than commitment to a woman. Well, I thought you said caring for, and I didn't know if you meant taking care of, being the care.

I mean, you're the house.

In fact, I've often said I could much more easily run the house than do 50/50 with a wife. I, I, the egalitarian 50/50 ideal causes more fights and, and probably breakups than, than almost anything else. But the guy who is the full-time taking care of the kids in the home, I bless you guys. How do you like that? Okay, and I'm into manhood, and that, that, that doesn't compromise it.
