I get a lot of answers where the person will say something like, "In my marriage, we are equal partners." I always wonder if that person's spouse would agree to that statement or are they like the oblivious boss who thinks all their employees love them.

When people say 50/50, I laugh.
Its "supposed" to be 110/110......
Man give 110% in his ROLE as Husband.
Wife give 110% in her ROLE as wife.
Husband and wife each have their own distinct set of responsibilitites in marriage. Man and woman's role are clearly defined in the Bible.
The ironic thing is, most people just disregard that part of God's plan for harmoney and peace, but have no problem getting married in a Church.
Once you start keeping score with "50/50", both parties come up short.
Just my two cents.

Marriage, as well for any relationship for that matter should be 50/50 at all times. At no one time should a partner take up more of the burden than the other. At the sametime relationships are not and should not be atleast about the money or how much a spouse has. But i say it would depend widely on the individuals in question as to who think their marriages actually are 50/50.

I would say that if they are truly equal partners, they would've discussed it and agreed that they were 50/50. I like to think my husband and I are. There are times when I feel he's taking too much responsibility on, and so, I help out. There are times when I feel he's not pulling his weight, so I ask for help. He does the same. It's a continuing process. Good question, but I really think an equal partner marriage is very satisfying.

My thought is that 50/50 is only a perception. If you have to think about what you are doing and keep track of everything you do, then you are doing it for the wrong reasons. In a marriage you do things out of the goodness of your heart without expecting anything in return. Marriage is not a competition.

i would like to think my relationship is a 50/50 i'm not married.. but i live with my bf and have for nearly a year.. and will probably get married eventually..
i like to think everything is 50/50 we both work.. we split the rent.. we split the expences.. maybe not 50/50 but he pays for some things i pay for somethings.. we divide the house hold chores i think enough.. he does most of the cooking.. i do most of the work on the pets.. he does the yard stuff.. i try and make sure the place is tidying he does that as well. :)
i'd say we were pretty equal :)

First of all, a marriage should be 100% / 100% and if both people put that in.... no one is more dominate than the other. It's kind of like team work... one person may excel in in one area, where the other person may excel in another area making the marriage a success and both people happy.

Marriage comes from GOD ! Look in the manual or learn from the elders at your local CHURCH.
Just don't buy into everything your hear & see, especially from the workplace. Excuse my FRENCH - FUNK all bosses, in short THEY want to own you ! The worst are the "Your Friend" boss !

Yeah well they should hear how their partners talk about them when they're not around to hear it. Them partners can gripe and complain until everyone in the room wishes they would shut the hell up already.
