It's not a good agreement and as a male you're making a 50 percent bet to get taken to the cleaners.

I think that's a sad statement, to be honest.
Family provides us with many of our greatest successes. Sure, going it lone-wolf is easier, but so is settling in at middle-management. Ambition is a bitch and sometimes it hurts more than it helps. But if done well, that ambition will serve you greater than ambivalence ever will.
The same applies to family life. Marry poorly and make a marginal investment and it's not going to work to your advantage. Marry well and work on it and you'll live a happier, more well-rounded life for it.
It's tougher at times, but I think your life is far more fulfilling and far more rewarding for the effort.
But your mileage may vary.
