so why are women obsessed with marriage and family?

Question

have you thought about what it means?
how you would raise kids?
how you would interact with your spouse and
why men arnt that concerned ?
I think this love thing between women and marriage may just be socializaton. I hear alot about women being given up to other men to take care of them. as an independent female that sounds crappy to me. Seems old school.

Answer 1

It is just how people are raised. The younger generation is changing and getting careers. Unfortunately there are many babies being born to single parents which makes it difficult for the single parents.

Answer 2

I never wanted to get married and never wanted children. I ended up getting married and having one child....however, if I hadn't done either, I'd have been perfectly happy.

Got rid of him...(the body was dumped in the desert next to a saquaro cactus with 3 arms), kept the child.

Honestly, raising a child alone is not a great time. If you want children, then you really need to marry someone and have that whole committment thing going on. Of course, raising a child with the WRONG person is even worse.

So, decide what you want...and go for it.

Answer 3

Well I love it. I have always wanted to stay at home and take care of a family and my husband. I do have my bachelors degree and can get a job anytime that I want, he will let me. But he and I agree that I stay home for now. I am only 24yrs old with no kids but he works such long hours right now that he can barely take care of himself. Once you get married your ideas of things change I think. I was very independent before I met my husband, I even traveled in Asia for two months alone when I was 21 and payed for my bachelors with no loans out of my pocket! If you were given the option to stay at home, go work out with your personal trainer, go shopping and hang out with your friends I am sure that most people would take it, independent or not!

Answer 4

i'd argue that ladies human beings on the prompt are more effective smitten by marriage because of the degradation in the sanctity of marriage. evaluate the boom in the divorce price in the course of the last 30 years (as a lot as 40% of first marriages bring about divorce), and also evaluate the end results of divorce on children, and also the classic function of girls human beings because the customary caregivers to children. If the customary function of marriage is to have children and create a threat-free ecosystem, then the shortcoming of protection in marriage is a significant challenge, fairly to ladies human beings. i imagine this drives the obsession with an "suited marriage." inspite of the undeniable fact that, i ask your self if the most objective on looking the suited better 1/2 for the suited marriage creates unrealistic expectancies that leads, a minimum of in part, to the persevered climb in the divorce price, and also to the persevered improve in the mandatory age at which persons get married (preserving out for that acceptable better 1/2). truthfully, self-fulling prophosies.

Answer 5

I agree with you, it does seem archaic. However some people are programmed to the point where marriage and family is what defines them. Which is why they are obsessed with marriage and family. The whole "I'm not a woman until I've given birth" syndrome.
Do things for the right reasons.

Answer 6

Because they want the security that comes with marriage and children..Some have grown up and that was what was instilled in them as a child ..Good ol' family values

Then again some just want to remain single and go after that almighty buck

Answer 7

I never wanted to get married until I met my husband. I still don't want kids. I'm 28, hubby is 36. I don't know why women are obsessed with it either and we've got a great relationship.

Answer 8

most women have a bilogical clock that ticks and there is nothing we can do abt it. when ur body says its time to have kids its time to have kids. otherwise its too late. men dont care bcause they can have kids even at 100 yrs old (look at larry king). as for depending on men i thnk that is sooooooooo last century. i dont believe in that and if there is a woman who still believes (unless they choose to be house wife and a mom) that she is lazy and just looking for a support

Answer 9

I don't think its as prevalent as it used to be. I think women who are obsessed with it will end up marrying someone they probably shouldn't marry and will end up being forced to be independent to support themselves and their children later on, they just take the hard way to get there.

Answer 10

not obsessed, this is a cycle of life. Raising children to a full grown adult can be achieving too. Did you ask yourself what is your role here on earth?
