That depends on whom you marry: you may end up with someone who doesn't look after you or goes off with someone younger or as you say, dies before you or needs more care than you do.
I've discovered there are no guarantees about this. I'm old and single and in poor health, bu I don't expect my only child to look after me, although she does to some extent.
As someone who was strong and healthy and independent most of my life, I find it hard to ask for help.
I dont want any child but what in old age ?
