as im a girl,so talking from that point of view and noticing things baout..i think that im india, generally man who are hunting for wife or planning to get married or who are married...they think that they want a wife in the form of a caretaker-for cooking n feeding his family...taking care of his parents as well raising thier child...,quiting her career for the kids...helping him financially as well...
woman thinks if getting a macho man..with loads of money and servants too and with not much of family...

I am a house wife and I would prefer to be one any day. But that doesn't mean all girls today want to be a housewife. I have known so many girls that are highly career oriented and want to achieve so much career wise.
Even all men do not expect their wife to be just a caregiver at home. With the rising cost of living many men today want their wife to support them financially by pursuing their career. Gone are the days when men wanted less educated women as wife who would stay at home and take care of the kids and kitchen, laundry etc. Today the men know the importance of having a well educated confident and understanding wife.
I am really lucky I got the husband that I always wanted. he is always motivating me in whatever I want to do and also for things that he thinks I am capable of doing even if I am not interested. I have grown as a person with his efforts and today I am proud of what I am.

it has least importance if your marriage is an arranged one or love marriage..what is important is how u live together..how much u understand each other... u have to keep it in mind that marriage is not something like u change ur dresses or cars etc.... its a life long relation...it is the hand u will like to hold in a happy day or sad mood....its not like i will have only a lov marriage or vice versa... if u find a person who u think will be near u watever happens till ur end....u can opt to hold his hand provided ur parents agree. on the other hand...an arranged one...which u think is not going to have an happy ending,,,u can openly reject it.
n to be a house wife or persue a career is dependent on u both...husband n wife...if its a love or arranged marriage dont have any role to play in it...if u think u need more money wife can go for her career....but being a wife, i feel relation n keeping that relation in a gud manner is more imp...

Its up to a individual women and a man.My parents have done arranged marriage and im not married yet.My sister got arranged marriage and now she is living happily .There are certain man who just want to rule the women but there are really good man when it comes to arranged married its totally works differently we just cant go out and find what kind of man actually he is and the same goes for women..Arranged marriage always come up with security , yes parents are the security if the marriage life is not going well then girls can return back to their mom's home..

Marriage in India is an institution. You are right more or less when you say that when a woman gets married, she is supposed to discharge lots and lots of responsibilities, but I would say while discharging her defined tasks, there is brighter side also. To bear a child and raising him/her is an experience of life time, it can only be felt by a woman, who get into it. Ask the fellings of those women, who somehow do not get an opportunity to bear a child even after marriage, they always feel incomplete in themselves. Some women may think that they should get a hubby who is very wealthy and a palacial house with lots of servants. But please remember, those who think on these lines, may not remain happy even with this kind of weath and money, after all money is not everything. Having said that perceptions may differ from person to person.
Good Post!

Hi sang2k2! I am not really agreeable with arranged marriage. There may be some people who will get married to be financially secured but I guess, that is what they want somehow. In my case, I got married because of love. However, these are changing times and we can see that women are more career oriented than ever before. I am a housewife but before I got married, I was a businesswoman owning and managing two businesses. When I got married, I choose to give them all up because of medical reasons. However, my husband has been very supportive in any of my decisions and we have both talked about it over and over again. I guess, what matters most is that in whatever life we choose for ourselves, we should have that commitment to be the best that we can be, whether it is in the business world or in just the simple 4 walls of our homes. And as long as we have that satisfying and gratifying feeling in our hearts, then I think the choice we made for ourselves is right.
Take care always..God Bless!

I think ,things have changed a lot...Now , no more women are forced to quit their career...specially in literate families...
In remote areas , were no working women are found , there the ratio of house wives may be more...but in cities ...theratio of working women is high...
