Ladies Please Answer. Even though you women say that marriage is suppose to be 50/50?

Question

why does it alway seem that the husband is always compromising more to the wife in a marriage to keep her happy.

Answer 1

I guess it may seem that way to women too. I personally feel woman have to work harder then men. Americna society expects us to have succesful careers, raise our children, take care of the husband, and the overall well being of the household. men are simply breadwinners. So what exactly do u mean??

Answer 2

I believe that if you really break it down, we are equally yolked for the most part, our roles are just different. Now although society tells us that the ideal situation should be 50/50, that's a really unrealistic way to look at things. Women and Men serve different purposes in relationships. Traditionally the man is the sole bread winner while the woman plays that maternal part. She cleans, takes care of the children, cooks for the family and serves the husband. When you say that you are always compromising to keep your marriage happy what do you mean by that?

Answer 3

Because when the wife isn't happen, you can bet she'll make sure the husband isn't happy either. It's survival. And to be honest, marriage is seldom 50/50. I think woman tend to be more giving in other ways. The balance is constantly shifting. And you know another reason the husband compromises??? To get the booty! Now isn't that a small price to pay?? LOL

Answer 4

I have never heard of the man compromising more than the wife. I was married and I was always compromising. I was hoping for 50/50 marriage too but did not get it. I believe your wife is very blessed if you are the one that's compromising.

Answer 5

I don't believe a marriage is 50/50 I believe it's 100/100 and I don't think a man should always be the one who is trying to keep things happy and good in a relationship. I love to do things to make my man happy no matter if it's a big or small thing. I love to make him happy but I like to receive the same.

Answer 6

Not true! The women tends to compromise to keep the husband happy! In a lot of cases we have to compromise our lifestyles, because the husband doesn't make enough to support us. We have to compromise numerous things! Our souls, spirits, minds and bodies just to keep the hubby happy!

Answer 7

Both need to sacrifice and compromise, but some men just don't do it like women do. Or some times they are more slow at it than women. Mostly because of emotions, majority of women tend to fall in love faster than men. But it should be 50/50.

Answer 8

Good question, I think all married couples have the issue of who is giving or taking more. I think it is really simple, we (woman) give and take as much as a man does, but that the men feel they do more because it is not the norm for men. Women can multitask and give all the time for their families and it is more automatic. For you men out there it is not so automatic so it feels as if you are giving more because you have to think about it. And maybe you are trying to please her too much. Take charge once in a while with decisions and she will appreciate you making the call verses saying"I don't care honey what ever you want ." Pleasing her too much could back fire.

Answer 9

I think it depends on how much respect you show for each other as well. I have no clue who ever came up with the unwritten rule of 50/50 but it's how much you both give to each other. There shouldn't be a competition on who gives more in any relationship.

Answer 10

Cuz thats how you see it. marriage isnt supposed to be 50-50... its supposed to be 100-100. and the woman may also feel like shes doing more for you then you are for her... its all in how YOU personally see things.
