We could debate if desirable or not, but it seems that a modern modification would maintain this without being anti-feminist:
"Marriage helps ensure that both partners are financially stable after divorce."
Which is generally what the law provides. It allows for the flexibility for the couple to allow for one partner to prioritize family care, while the other prioritizes financial matters, without discriminating based on gender. Sure there are still stereotypical gender roles in play that create biases, but the basic framework can persist.
