"It is probably safe to assume that the vast majority of these affairs between married women and unmarried men were more or less short-lived; eventually the risk would outweigh the reward for one or the other and the affair would be broken off. No matter how brief or varied extramarital contact was, however, marriages tended to endure because the commitment to maintaining security for herself and her children was always paramount. In other words, though a woman’s source of security must be stable and enduring, her source of sexual and emotional intimacy could and often did change over time. Then, as now, more women wanted to marry those with power (either political or economic) for the reasons already stated above, and those with power of course wanted to marry as many women as possible for both sexual and social reasons. More wives meant more power on every level, and this has not changed and probably never will. What has changed, however, is the nature of those in power.
For those with power are now inhuman entities, namely corporations and collectivist governments, and it is they whom many women now seek to marry. Because these entities are inhuman, their needs and desires are different from those of human men, but no less focused on women. The “wife” of a corporation provides some form of work rather than sex, and in return receives the sort of security once provided by husbands, namely income (even during pregnancy and old age), medical care, etc; a faithful “wife” is rewarded with higher pay and benefits. Similarly, a collectivist government has many “wives” which it attempt to support through social programs and attempts to protect through legislation. The fact that it does such a poor job of both only means that most women will seek to marry a better provider first; only those women with low standards and poor prospects “marry” governments. And although sex is not part of the reward for these institutions, they demand fidelity in their own fashions: The United States government stops supporting mothers who marry mere humans, and companies give their best positions and income to “career women” who give their all to the company rather than “cheating” with a family."

Seems pretty accurate.
