Will you marry a househusband ?

It can be repugnant to some but others may not have the luxury to choose. It is either that or remain single for all their life.

Women have been conditioned in their upbringings to look for a stronger all round partner . Either the men were higher than them or equal on the same footings.Anything less would be unsatisfactory.

When you mentioned a househusband , you would imagine a man donning an apron and doing the housework or taking up a woman's role in the house.A role reversal scenario.

Now that women are fully in the work force and some women maybe earning more than the men,the question begets most minds is whether a man can be adept at house chores and baby care givings as well as a woman.

This preposition was unthinkable several years ago.Women have made much stride into the man’s world and the man’s world are reeling under the onslaught of this female power.

There may come a day in the not too distant future that women would hold all the executive and top post and men would just be delegated to the heavy menial tasked or made redundant or irrelevant.I shudder ,for such reality is not impossible.

Would you marry a woman who would one day after you have kids ,asked you to quit your lower paying job immediately and she would take care and provide everything for you .Would you as a man agree to this preposition?

I think no sane thinking man would want to quit his job and depend fully on the woman for every of his needs .There could be exceptions, maybe they are disabled or mentally handicapped.

In the older generations , it was a shame to be a ˜consort' to the woman.The man will have no face or honour.In the present era, it is no more a shame but such marriages can faced tremendous pressures both inside and outside.It challenges the norms and concepts of a family hierarchy in today’s world.

There comes a time when the marriage comes to a watershed, when they have babies and when one has to quit their job to looked after the baby and home.Who will have to quit?

Usually it is the woman who has a lower paying job than the man. She is the natural choice. However, the tables have changed and it is the men who may have to quit to maintain their same standards of living.

There are situations when the woman earns more than him and he may have to be sacrificed.This will also depends if the man have the aptitude or whether he can do a woman's job. If he cannot , then he will make a mess out of it .Not all man are equal to the job.Some are just not fit for the job.

Some women are dominant partners and want a man but they want their men to be under their controls.These men are passive and goes along with their wives. Most probably these men comes from a dominant mother family and so they don't mind .

In a marriage , either one could be dominant . If you are a man , it would be better you become the dominant partner than to be dominated.

A woman looks up to a strong man.She would want to marry a man who is stronger than her .She is conditioned in that way.I hoped the world,one day in the future, would not come to the situations like those of the Amazon women warriors who ruled over men..

Whether you liked it or not, women has come to the world’s stage and they are flexing their muscles and new found freedom which their sisters in the last generations were denied.
