Today's world is changing and everybody is different. Do women feel that they have a job to do in a marriage? Is this essential for making it work? I see on women shows that don't address this issue. How do you communicate in a marriage what someone's job responsibilities are so that you can be a better team?

Marriage must definitely is a 24-7 job. Now a days people don't stay married just because it's a everyday lesson. I've bee married for 16 years.. . . It takes two to communicate. But most of all a whole lot of Love !

YOu are right. Both the man and the woman should treat the marriage as a job with specifications. What each one should do to make the marriage work.

before you get married get pre marrital counseling.. these are things they discuss there.. you can say.. i expect that as the husband i will do these things... (make your list).... i expect you as my wife to do these things... (again make a list)... then you discuss them... with my husband and i we decided that i would be a housewife (and now a stay at home mom) and would be in charge of cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the children... he works nights right now and we spend our day together.. that includes doing grocery shopping and errands like that... about once a week he will help me with dishes and taking out the trash but other than that he is off the hook.. although he pitches in loads if i'm sick... in turn i do the laundry, make dinner, pack his lunch for work, take care of the pets and the kids... that way when he's home he gets to rest and enjoy his time with his family.. definitely something that you need to sit down and discuss together... before marriage is a good idea, so as you enter the marriage you know what to expect from each other. works better than fighting over who needs to do what and who needs to help with what.

Sit down and talk about it. My husband and I figured out that he does the laundry which I hate. and I do the house. He help with dishes. He does the stuff outside, I can't I'm allergic to grass. Basically we learn as we go. But you do have to ask him what he expects and tell him what you expect. Then comprise.

no...marriage is not a corporation where u have specific job titles and functions..marriage is an institution where there's love, respect, commitment, trust and understanding and its not structured

no one should have a "job" in marrage, you should both do things to help the other. lots of people think woman does dishes and man does mowing. that is not right in my eyes. if my husband is tired i would not mind to mow the yard for him, and he does not mind to do the dishes for me. if something needs done, we both do it, there are not certain jobs we do.
