What a disgusting and patronizing view of marriage.
In many societies (where women don't have the same economic independence as men) this is true, in my experience and the experience of other people I know, most of the time women tend to be more eager to have a stable relationship. In my opinion however it has to do with the history of economic dependance, also perhaps biological (the female has the baby, needs the father).
