Re: Increasing Divorce Rate
Hm... many of us have mothers who lived in differnet times, different rules./society/culture with different expectations of em than us... Many of the things my mother dealt with, I could never deal with. Some would say I'm weak or spoiled, some would say that I'm more "modern" or "empowered" . But does this mean that we won't make decent wives? Women of my mom's generation, at least from family stories that I've heard, were encouraged to take all the bullshiit that came at them, from in laws, society etc, and not complain or fight back, and i think that's still teh case sometimes... if i decide to fight back wud that make someone a bad wife/bad person?
If your marriage is about fulfilling the needs not only of yourself but your husband then you'llbe fine...if you want everything your way...and believe marriage to be solely about satisfying yourself then your in trouble...
We are too selfish when it comes to relationships and that is why they tend to fail...we always expect our own expectations to be met...me...me...me
Back in the days...it seemed to be the other way round...wives would be all about their husband and fulfilling their needs even if it compromised their own aspirations....
Find a middle ground and then its all good
