first of all your expenses would at least triple if you are married with children rather than livign alone. if you were single and making 1000 $ a month, you'd live a pretty comfrotable life(assuming you do your own cooking and cleaning too  ) if you were married, 1000$ is nothing. you will work day and night and feel liek you're not making any money at all, you will live with less luxury(if any) etc... |
The way I see it is that there are two courses in life, be a family man or be a business man.

People usually lie a lot or hide who they really are while dating. Big mistake if you want a relationship to end in marriage.

Only a fraction of the people I know who have children are fit to be parents. Most are either too strict or too loose when it comes to "el-terbeje". There is either the "You're-my-kid-therefore-I-own-you" parents or the "I'm-your-friend-I'll-let-you-do-anything" parents, both cases the kid ends up a scum.
Raise your kid like a parent and respect his choices in life or don't have any at all.

This is kind of old, one more generation and this won't be an issue in most societies.
Women didn't have any rights before, that did change but you can't expect it to change over night. This is something that changed the entire structure of society, whether you like it or not, it will take time.
