Is Sex the Only Benefit FOR Men in a Relationship?

Men worry that committing to a relationship will limit their freedom. They fear they may envy their friends, miss every Friday night out, and lose the benefits of having sex with different women. But is marriage really the end of enjoying manhood? A constant debate topic that only the person involved can answer.

Based on their experience as a married couple, they explain the nonsexual benefits of a relationship on both sides (men and women), discuss why some men opt not to commit, and highlight the importance of deciding for oneself.

The reason why men get more out of a relationship
Understanding the pros and cons of having a partner
The stability and security a relationship offers; and
