Equality in marriage

No. That is why I nwe er thought I could merge love and marriage. For me , I had to choose one or the other. I chose love. To me Marriage isn't equal at all. Or I should say my marriage woulsdn't be equal at all! My husband would rule me , or try. I would resnt him and there would be war. I know , I know marriage Doesn't Have to be that way. It Just would be that way with me.

I think so, when you both work it out and talk frequently about things happening in your married life and both will respect each other as co partners of your family and no one is the boss...

There should be equality in a marriage but unfortunately that isn't always the case. When a couple marry they become one - a team. When children come along then they need to work together, but I just don't see that being the case. I know it's not in my house. My husband would rather be a friend to his kids than a parent. I am unable to work due to illness and have no income; I feel deprived financially because he does what he wents whether we can afford it or not, yet I am told "We don't need groceries this week." I know this is just my own experience but it's like that more often than not, I'm afraid. There is a double standard and always will be... until women rule the world.

i thought that equality here would mean that both the husband and wife has a voice in the marriage. Both can voice out their opinions, their likes and dislikes, and that both should hear each other out. Both can make the decisions when it comes to their marriage, to their family.

In any relationship whether marry or not there never is equality and why not? because one of the partner[ man or woman]will take over! and if you mean about house work? well one partner will be more responsible than the other and that is a fact!

Equality means balance, a give and take relationship. Usually difference lies in opposite status of education and jealousy. One can not move and decide for a concrete solid foundation of reaching out for the satisfaction and success for they do not jive into one solution. Conflict in understanding always occur.

Sadly, i don't think there is. Basically, I believe that one partner is always more giving while the other takes. One person loves the other more and is less selfish. It is a rare thing to find the equality , that you speak of in a marriage, even if there is honour, respect and trust. Two people should equally want the best for their partner is how I see it.

I think that each partner needs to work at the marriage in order for it to work. If one person is trying to make it work and the other isn't then there is no way for the relationship to continue growing. All to often when people get married they forget that just because you're married doesn't mean that you know longer have to work at the relationship that is there. I think equality in a marriage is important. Each partner needs to bring something to the table whether it be providing for the family, or taking care of things at home. It is all about making life better for each other, so together you can have a great life.

i am married for more than a year now and i would say that equality doesn't just means being equal in household chores and things like that but it also mean being equal in respect, love and rust with each other. and in biblical sense, the husband should be the head of the family. so in my marriage, i see to it that whenever i make a decision, i would consult my husband about it. the last yes and no should be from him. our marriage is not perfect, there are flaws, there are problems we encounter especially that he works far from us, but every time we encounter it, one of us should either cool down and be silent and patient. on this we are equal, there are times when i am the one whose angry and there are also times when it's him who's not in the mood. we are praying that our marriage could really last and stand the test of times, coz we value our family as the greatest treasure we have on earth.

Right now, I feel there is no equality in my marriage. My husband, more right than I took decision. Equality does not apply in my marriage, but possible, apply at another wedding.

Yes, I truly believe it. I always think that life will be good if we have a good relationship. Not only in marriage but also in many other fields of life.

Well there is supposed to be equality but in my case it was or seemed to be one sided. Life threw me a curve ball. Relationships are not an easy thing to handle, you have to ready willing and able to deal with it. Marriage should be the ultimate union of two people that are in love. But in the world we live in now it doe not matter anymore.

1. Equal prone to competition and competition is good it elsewhere, but not in a relationship. 2. Equality is an illusion, a dream of emancipated women, which is impossible. Always one to do more and another less. 3. Lack of equality, does not mean that one is above and one beneath. 4. Lack of equality does not mean the absence of concessions, compromises and agreed to take important decisions. 5. I do not think the studies 'modern', they usually find sites for the colored magazines for women and brain washing. Rather, in the specialty. He confronts a poll showed specialists "or" a study "does not give more credibility. Conclusion: there will not be equal because we are too different. Different does not mean superior or inferior. Whether she will be the astute who leaves the man to believe that the important decisions he or astute man will give women the feeling that they participate in important decisions and will not leave any doubt that he leads. As long as there is desire for equality, there will be a gender war.

Equal sharing of power has strong impact on a marriage. Power struggles do occur in marriage, but the victim-victimizer syndrome is really just a myth. If you allow your mate to always be the leader and you the follower, you need to analyze why you allow this to happen. You may be letting him get away with bossiness because of a lack of self-esteem. Marriage is a pattern, you can either turn it into a beautiful dance or a vicious power game.

it really depends on your definition of equality... in every household, there always has to be a leader... just like in a company or a country... there has to be a leader to lead the household in the right direction... in this case, God had stated very clearly in the Bible that man is the head of the family and woman is the companion... but that doesn't mean that man can be a dictator... in fact, being a leader means man has to sacrifice just like God has sacrificed His life for us by dying on the cross... take care and have a nice day...

Yes I believe in the equality. After all your life partner is human. He/she have their own dreams, self respect, ego.

well ive never been married yet but i hope that it will be an equal relationship. when i was with my ex it was not and he thought everything should be done for him as thats what his mum did. you will never believe that things he had me do so i wont go into it

Yes friend equality is necessary in marriage but it is not possible in every cases. Because this is depend upon the communities rules and regulation if our community is not accept that wife should do the job then all community members accept this tradition whole life. Even if we are tried to change this then in some family accept this new idea but some like in town residential people not accept this.

i believe there is equality between husband and wife in some ways. but i also believe that sometimes, the husband should be in the position when it comes to bigger decision making when it comes to the family, but the wife can also suggest to her husband and the husband should listen to her wife's suggestion. when it comes to taking care of the house or the kids, of course, the wife is the one who is more responsible. so i think, both husband and wife has their own roles in the family in equal parts.

of course but i think men should take more responsibility
