Re: Life after marriage
Having independence means that you choose what you want to do - be that stay home with the kids or go out and have a career. Its a personal choice either way but it really doesnt have to do with independence....its the ABILITY to choose that gives you independence, kwim? If you want to have a career and hubby says no, you dont have it. And if you want to be home with babies but cannot afford to or hubby prefers the extra income, you dont have it.
I've said this so many times....marriage should be a partnership where both people have the same goals and work together to acheive them. Without this, there is no independence and really isnt a foundation for a good marriage.
