...marriage is a business too...

that is a lot of generalization. btw marriage is a subset of business, is not a valid term until it is being contested, concessioned, consensual, especially in the court room. the court would never allow that to happen. Although they are similiar, but one should not easily confuse the two terms.

...bad business practice... where paying for subscription make more sense... loses its value over time...

that is very absurd, but hold some truth. There is nothing we can literally do when the life itself is as bold as it can be, every life goes through the same life cycle, and gender too has the same gender life cycle.

Although I dislike people who prejudge the value of everything based on "value goes up", but it does make perfect financial sense and make money too. War is bad but war is profitable, making weapon is profitable. The reverse is true too, making the point of trying to make progress or trying to build is itself a losing endeavor, because it is profitable the rich people keep doing its dirty job, to make sure they are the rich, and getting even richer.

Renting instead of marriage make financial sense, surrogacy make financial sense, it is absurd, it has no moral compass, but it make perfect financial sense.

But what can we do about it? There is nothing can be done. Whether go poor trying to change or do nothing and not getting poorer, of course every change must come with heavy protest. And the change would also benefit only the person who have their own selfish interest and they would even sponsor the change themselves with financial aid.

...the thread is about marriage but... the title should be Marriage and Business...

well, the main objective of the title is to express it is a huge problem, and the problem would require everybody else hardwork to trying to save it, the problem is too big to failed, it have to be bailout, because a failure would lead to undesirable consequence, it could mean total carnage, big crisis!

...and marriage should not be a concern of everybody but family members only...

that is exactly what is decided in the legal system, family members must fix the problems itself, doesn't matter their capabilites. Not until the system begin to collapse, when the family members also could not save it anymore, because the problem have grown into multi billions dollar problem.

...Subscribing for such an asset pushes the man to have...

What can I say about it? It is all convenient, the legal system even legalize the services, everybody would take full advantages of the convenient, due to it being very convenient, boomer begin to abuse it, make it a national sport, to see who could be the champion in abusing this convenient, but not knowingly the convenient also come with moral crisis later, that would be the zoomer who is gonna face the crisis themselves, the zoomer are gonna pay the price of the convenient enjoyed by the boomer. It is all fair and square, you get what you sow.
