New Wives=New Hope for Sri Lankan Men

I am almost speechless about this one. Is the Washington Post advocating marriage as a way of making men happy? Are we to learn that deep down men need women to take care of them? I came away thinking that women keep men together, provide a calming and civilizing influence (the men stop drinking). Is that what the Post wants me to understand...that men need women and women are happy when they provide what men lack (at least in Sri Lanka)? If so the MSM is more conservative than I thought. At least when it comes to other "third world" type countries.
