Wrong. Few are taken for granted. Besides, few guys are taken for granted too.

Btw, when you say 'women taken for granted' what do you mean? In what ways? Is it that it's taken for granted that they will take care of the family? Or they will manage the in house business? And if that's what you mean, then what's wrong in that? It's just division of work. Men take care of external affairs, and their ladies take care if in house affairs.

If a lady wants, she too can indulge into her career. But she is the one who will have to decide as how to take care of the family, cos she's the one who's giving up her set of responsibilites?

Man and woman are two different things. Both capable of different functions i nthe society. It createsd a massive imbalance in the working of the society whenever one of them tries to show his/her superiority relating to any of his/her strengths.

The earth is equally imprtant as the trees. Air is equally important as water. Day is equally important as night. Similarly man and woman are equally important. It's justr that we start nagging about our duties which creates the imbalance...

All the best...

Ok. Its a male's world, are you trying to say that? It has been so in the past, looking into history we will find more Kings that fought battles than queens, majority of the soldiers were men, not women. Women had been assigned domestic chores while men were out to earn the bucks for the family.

The scenario may have changed today with more working women in families, but they are taken for granted when their husbands fail to realise that they are earning for the family just as good as the man does.
Dominance is in the blood of men.
P.S: I meant the men who take women for granted...

Get a GRIP. Women are taken for granted for the same REASONS men are taken for granted after MARRIAGE. The chase is over and they got what they wanted.

I have been married for almost 25 years. Most of the time, my husband treats me with respect and spoils me in so many little ways. But men are men, and there have been times when I started to feel as though I was being taken for granted. The solution for this problem is COMMUNICATION. You have to lovingly let your spouse know how you feel (notice I did NOT say "nag"). That generally does the trick. Contrary to popular belief, men do NOT think the same way that women do, and we are NOT on their minds 24/7 anymore than they are on OUR minds 24/7. COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY.

They wear a big old sign that reads "TAKE ME FOR GRANTED". Seriously, we volunteer for this stuff. Think about someone you know who you would never mess with. Why is that? She's probably got a certain demeanor or attitude that says "dont mess with me". But for some reason, we start feeling strong and vital in our early 20's and get so damned independent that the only message we send out is "I can do it all" and "leave me be" which eventually turns into "take me for granted".

Your man needs respect the way y ou need love and gentleness. What areas do you let him make mistakes and decisions on his own? How do you show him you still admire him? appreciation him? and respect him? tough ones arent they?

I agree with the above answerer. Women who are taken for granted after marriage allow themselves to be that way.

People get comfortable, they say well he / she isn't going anywhere, I can do as I like, I will walk over them be inconsiderate, impolite, act as if they have no feelings, forget why they married in the first place, for get the love they had.
We women are to blame sometimes too we get relaxed, we stop looking sexy, wearing lingerie, getting our hair done, we walk about looking like zombies in big nighties, curlers, we get up and do all the house work, we don't take time for ourselves and insist that the men treat us like the queen we really are. Women step up to the plate and take your rightful place, then we wouldn't be taken for granted.

The things you did for them before marriage that were sweet and thoughful are now they are expected. You did it for them to show your love and appreciation but once you got married it became ur job. If you husband does not appreciate everything you do for him then stop doing it. Let his laundry pile up until he has no clean underpants or socks. Let the dishes pile up, stop cooking and make him a pb&j sandwich for dinner while you go out for dinner with your friends. He will soon realize how good he had it. Sometimes they just don't get it!!!!!!! Telling them does not work either you have to make them see all that you do and beleive me when he has to go to work without underwear on he will start to appreciate you!!!

I think we get so comfortable in the marriage far as pleasing our man that, he's number one on our agenda. I believe we should be kind and giving to our spouse but he must realize that this good treatment could end at anytime if he takes advantage of it. He must be in lightened on this so he doesn't take us for granted. You showing that your wants and needs are just as important as his, he should meet yours as well. It takes two in a marriage to respond in the same ways for it to work out. Sometimes men can become selfish in there ways and they forget about what we need. Remind him it works both ways. Don't be a door mat, but be a kind wife. Cocoa
