Is true that men are career-centered and women are marriage-centered?

I think so. From my life experience, I find that most women focus their attention on their family but most men on their work. Maybe it is mostly decided by women and men's nature and instinct. women are mostly emotional, caring for family; but men are powerful willing to put their extra energy on the outside world. Besides, the social tradition and customs also play a great part in customizing the women and men's social roles. It is said that men should and must creat the world, so they must be career-centered and set a good environment for women and their children. Women are actually family-inclined, they like to focus their attention on the family after they are married. Generally, they seldom go out to play day and night, they shift their care to their husbands and children. Marriage is regarded the first and formost thing in their life. They even change their personality and sacrifice their interest to stay home or caring for everything at home. But men are different, after they are married, they will have the sense of reponsibility, but they will show their duty by making extra money. Career and money are parallel for them. They are not still willing to spend more time at home. They think that their power should be manifested in the outside.

IN this modern times, It's pretty hard to tell. Especially that a lot of women are already empowered to equal men even in the career aspect, and some men are actually the ones who are marriage-centered than women. But maybe in the part of men, because culturally speaking, most are usually geared towards being the provider of the family that is why they are more career-oriented. But then again, it's hard to tell nowadays.

I would say women are FAMILY centred. The connection between a mother and child is unbreakable (in most cases) and mothers are mothers 24 hours a day. There is a saying that guys are fathers from sun up until sun down. I don't think even THAT is true. I think guys are fun-centred. They work because they have to but would rather be playing. Sometimes it's with the family but more often than not it's with their buddies. That is not to say that women don't like to spend time having fun with their friends, but their family is never out of their minds. I admit I'm not the best mother in the world, but I will leave my own hobbies (writing group) to attend a child's soccer game. My husband will leave a child's basketball game to go play golf with his buddies. Therein lies the difference.

I don't think so.Although my mother stay in home looking after me with her career abandoned and my father always being busy with his work,but I don't believe every man is career-centered and every woman is marriage-centered.
