Is Marriage Worth it in 2026?
Notes de l’épisode
Should a Man Get Married in 2026? The honest, data-driven answer.
Every man is asking this question — in the gym, at the pub, in his own head at 2am. But almost nobody is asking it out loud. Dr. Venu Bhamidi does exactly that. In this episode of A Good Length, Dr Bhamidi unpacks the marriage question with the clarity it deserves — not with cynicism, not with romanticism, but with facts, law, and hard-won personal experience.
What you'll learn:
- Why the marriage contract changed fundamentally in 1975 — and why most men were never told
- The real Australian divorce statistics (and why the 40% figure is actually optimistic)
- Who initiates divorce — and what that means for men legally and financially
- How Australian Family Law divides assets, and why "50-50" is rarely the reality
- The 2024 custody law changes every father needs to understand
- A 5-step framework for any man genuinely considering marriage in 2026
- Why disengaged men, MGTOW, and declining marriage rates are a symptom — not the cause
Dr. Bhamidi also shares what he lost personally — and what he wishes he'd known.This isn't an anti-marriage episode. It's a pro-informed-marriage episode
