I have known guys who made it work, question is how much of the relationship with their lady or the family structure everyday will the men have to give up in order to have a wife?
We've had enough exposure over the past five decades to what divorce and discord does to families to know better than to think it will always work out. For many, it "seems" to work, but does it, really? Many guys, myself included were told by the older guys in the workplace to get out there and start a family, "do your manly duty", I'd love to punch those guys in the crotch. LOL.

My wife had a 6 year old when we met who was seven when we wed. You can’t share a living space without a child without some parental duty. But my goal was just to be an important adult in his life without replacing his father and I always backed my wife’s decisions after giving her my take. He came through okay and became an engineer for several years but got laid off after all the tariff madness undermined his employer’s business.
Now he is looking to make his way less conventionally doing Japanese timber framing and living as a monk. Not surprising given both his parents were artists and I was a philosophy guy and a middle school teacher with a gardening obsession. I don’t think normal for normal’s sake matters. To each his own.
