We'll get to 'the marriage "catch-22"' later, but first ... "Catch-22" is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which the our lexicon stands ...
The word “Catch-22” is from Joseph Heller's 1961 novel “Catch-22.”
The novel's Catch (a word that's also built on "to Grasp" (Chase, |Hunt, Fasten, Touch, |Light, Kindle, |Set on Fire, |Apprehend, Understand, |Draw the |Attention, Trap, Device to |Hold the |Latch of a |Door, Fishing |Vessel)) was a Psychological Paradox: if you |Wanted to |Fly |Airplanes in the War, you were too |Crazy to be Allowed to fly; but then you were only Sane |Enough to fly in the war if you Asked Not-to (and then you would Have-to fly).
And the number "22" was only chosen for 'the |Euphony'—the original Catch-number was "18," but Heller & his publishers changed it so as not to get it mixed up with Mila 18 (published earlier that year).
Deon Cole explains–among other things (in the NETFLIX-special offered through some of the links above)–that many women meet- and marry men who then don't support them in rising to the next level in their lives.
But the other side of that is that some men (at-least myself) can't rise to a new level in life without a wife to support- and rise with-him. Maybe Deon Cole knows that, maybe not ... sources can't tell whether he's married, but he's very proud of his son Dylan.
