Hi,
I think the problem is most people (not all) now see marriage as a way to get half of someones stuff if it doesn't work.
Divorce is such a huge business and people spend thousands of pounds/dollars to come out on top.
This has left a taint on the whole institution of marriage. I would say bring it up in a conversation sometime if you want to see how he feels.
