Men, do you want the women in your life to be as successful as you- spiritually, financially, and based on ?

Question

status? Do you want your wife/ girlfriend/ mother/ sister to feel as fulfilled in both her life and career as you do?

Answer 1

I'll have it no other way. As a future social worker, and prospective Ph.D., I'll be attracted to women who make an established life for themselves outside of whatever plans they may have for family. If she makes as much or more money than I do, awesome. Like I said, I'll be a social worker. It'll be better for our family if we have a second income.

Answer 2

I think that if you are in a relationship, and you share the same ideology spiritually, then the man (and vice versa) should want to be on the same spiritual level. Sure there will be some areas that the man will be more "successful" if you want to call it that--and there will be some that the woman will be. That is the beauty of it all, a couple should compliment each other spiritually...and usually do.
As far as financially, if the spiritual life is in line, then it shouldn't matter who makes more.
Right now my wife makes more than I do, the only reason I do not like it is that I cannot take care of her the way that I want it to be. Men are taught that they have to provide financially for their family. If they don't then they are not successful.
I know it is not important, at least right now; however, when we do decide to start a family, I want to make enough money where, if my wife decides to stay home with our kids, I can give her that gift. Especially since we are leaning towards homeschooling our future kids.

Answer 3

Absolutely. It's true it's a challenge for two people to be equally fulfilled in careers and pursuits at the same time, but I think it can be done if they support each other. Sometimes it does take a little sacrifice and compromise, but in the end I'd rather be with someone who is happy, and especially if I can help in any way get that person there. Isn't one goal of a relationship to make the other happy?

I personally have no problem with the woman I'm with being successful. I think it's great for her. I personally prefer the company of an equal who can stand on her own feet and make something of herself.

Answer 4

Of course it is a matter of pride to have successful partner/relative. Spiritual/financially strong / intelligent and bold ,wife/girlfriend/mother/sister inculcates confidence,respect and social status in the man, that is why everyone likes it.

Answer 5

Of course I do, because women are EQUAL. Me and my wife will be partners. I would expect her to contribute spiritually,emotionally, and financially. There are no free rides here. I would encourage her to do what ever makes her happy.
If there is ever a point where she ends up making more money then me, that would be great,I see no downside. There is nothing more attractive then an independent hardworking female. Like I said before the only thing holding women back is women. You become the victim when you start acting like it.

Answer 6

Imo not both of a coupel should have to work. Of course it is necessary that people work and it is necessary that we have a top and a bottom, but not both should have to work full time. A mom should be there for the family period untill the children become more indipendent so that she can fill that void with other things. Or the father if both are so inclined.
What angers me the most is that a lot of those women who go ranting against the traditional family had a mom at home which took care of them and baked christmas cookies and now they go on how a child should be in daycare at 4 months age, because they dont want to stay at home but do not want a stay at home husband eithier.

Answer 7

Ofcourse. Why not? The more knowledgable she is, the more we can learn more from each other. If it's my wife, we only have to discuss how to share time with the children, and take turns on who's career to follow if we move from time to time.

Answer 8

of course i do. i want them to be happy and i want them to do whatever they want. i dont care if she makes less the same or more as long as we have money we are fine who cares whos making it. but some women brag about "rising above opression" when they make more many than an average man. and they brag about how strong and independent she is. but what feminists dont understand is if a woman makes more or les than a man it doesnt matter. money does not declare the value of the person. and if the woman realy felt strong and independnet she wouldnt feel the need to cram her accomplishments down peoples throats and make herself out to be better than a man.

Answer 9

Success in its self is fufilling, and creates opportunities for further advances in life.
Besides material benefits, there is travel and vacations and a chance to indulge ones social concsience, be it the arts or charity or education.

Answer 10

My husband always wanted me to be just as successful and as happy in my career as he is. He has seen me work in a few crappy jobs that made me miserable, and now that I finally have a career that I am happy in, he's happy for me.
