I have a friend who always quotes that "Behind every man's success there is woman."Maybe he's right, but I think it works the other way around for women.Through my observation, whenever a woman is in a relationship with a man,she will become less productive.Most of the time she cannot really reach her maximum potential maybe because of early marriage or pregnancy.She can lost good opportunities because of restrictions from a man and her household duties.What do you think?

My partner always state this also and I agree with her. Perhaps the persons who speak about this are those who have been into a relationship with a woman. I do not agree that women become less productive if they're into relationship. I know some women who become more productive and prosperous in life during a relationship and I know women who are not productive even having no relationship. Although there are cases that women become less productive while in a relationship, it is not an absolute factor that the relationship with a man makes her less productive. In the first place, we need to define and be certain first of what do we really mean by being "productive". Some consider it as the volume of work/chores done in a span of time, others prefer to define it as the measure of success in a range of time. There are those persons also who consider productivity as to the number of children a woman can have or give birth. Now, depending on the definition and scope of "productivity", it still will fall on how partners/couples work in their relationship. Some women become less productive in their career because their husband/male partner disallows them to work and pursue their career. In this case, the productivity of women will be based on household chores, rearing children, etc. If a man really loves his wife/partner, she wouldn't restrict her in good opportunities in life considering that her success is also his success and vice versa. But if you're that egghead man who has superiority complex, well, you wouldn't allow a woman to be greater than you are, especially in terms of financial capabilities. The role of a woman in a man's life is very crucial regardless whether she's employed, doing business or just a plain housewife. You see, becoming a wife and a a mother is a 24-hour career that needs love. Getting pregnant is not becoming less productive for it will be abuse to allow your pregnant wife to work on quota just maintain productivity to provide finances.

Yes you're right, it depends on one's definition of productivity,but this time I'm referring to her career.A woman can be productive as housewife too;and of course bearing children.

I also heard that "Behind every woman's success there is a failing husband." When a woman is in love, she may be blind and loses the logic and intelligence. And she can sacrifice a lot for her family and lover. So she can not focus on her work. This is why usually more men are much more successful than women. I love China
