Why do more and more marriages fail? I have been pondering this question for some time, and although at first I was perplexed at why the past generations made things work and how despite lifes struggles they continued to stand by eachother, now i realise that the reason, the ultimate catalyst in destroying the sanctity of marriage, is, of course...
equality!
I know, how dare I say it, but somebody has too.
Im not talking about womens rights or equal job opportunities for men and women, I am talking about the cultural shift because of the equality movement. We have been bombarded by how men and women should be the same that we have forgotten to embrace the things that make us different. A Man needs to be a Man, he needs to be the protector, the provider, the hunter, its in our nature as humans, just as woman is a mother, a lady and the carer of our children. Sounds Chauvanistic, but its fact. Today, a man feels like he should no longer demand to pay for dates, or defend his womans honor because it will make a woman feel less valued. In reverse a woman today is more ambitious becasue she is supposed to be because being a mother and standing by her man is frowned upon. Women are now more like Men, and this is not helping either gender.
My advice to men... Be a man! Pay for dates, Open doors, whisper in her ear, Drink beer with friends, Watch Sports, Hate shopping. Its ok, despite her moaning it is what she really wants. No woman wants a sport hating, shop loving, girlie man. It will make you both happier.
Dont agree? Let me know!
