Good question..... I would personally like to think all should be equal. Neither giving more or taking more than the other. A deep bond which no one can break. Both taking loving care of each other mentally, emotionally, physically, and financially. The woman feeling very safe and secure. The man feeling very satisfied and happy Being one instead pf two and balancing everything out just beautifully....... This of course is my own fantasy and might not even exist.

honesty, kindness, support, attention, affection, ... you know the whole love, honor, cherish from this day forward stuff. Those words pretty much tell you what you should do. Treat your spouse the way you would like to be treated. I think those basic expectations would apply to husband and wife both.
In my marriage we both work full time so we share in household responsibilites. The work is done quicker if we share duties and we appreciate each other more for this I believe. We usually do the shopping together since we take turns cooking.
Don't get into a routine of who has to make the first move for sex and that won't become boring or make anyone feel unattractive. Keep it interesting.
My husband's income is almost double mine so we split the bills so that neither is carrying too much of the burden. We each have our own checking account so we can keep things balanced and have our own credit cards so nobody gets upset with charges. We are responsible for our own car payments. This has worked really well for us and I would recommend separating accounts and the bills we are responsible for.
Don't know what you were looking for with that question but that's my take on it.

I dont know about every one else but with me and my husband what is expected of one is expectedof the other. I expect him to work pay bills help with kids, inside and out side of our home. I expect him to be honest and respectful. I expect him to show appretiation and gratefulness for things done for him. I dont ask any thing from him I would not do or give of my self. He is my best friend and I dont do anything I cant tell him about or share with him. I let him know where I am going and what I am doing and he knows if he needs me I am always there or close by. It is totally give and give somemore on both parts. We both work same hours and we do all we can to make like as easy for each other as possible.

Are you sure you are trying to learn or sparing for a fight. A husband is the head of the family as ordained by God and man. He provides for his family under sun and rain and loves and protects his wife and kids unconditionally. A wife is the "queen bee", who keeps and manages the house and kids. She is also expected to love, cherish and obey her husband as ordained by man and God. The husband and wife are expected to unconditionally gratify each other sexually. lol. In this day of stay at home dads, it's unfortunate that roles are being confused. But never the less, the man is unfortunately still the head of the family. I may have to state here that this is my personal opinion and may not stand in court.

i guess the best answer would be mutual respect, loyalty and love.
Both are expected to grow together. Not just physically but in every aspect. You are to accept his flaws as he should do the same for you.
Both should be willing to compromise when you reach speed-bump, and should be able to relate to each other without being perturbed-that may mean that you have to walk away from a fight at times.
As wife your duties and affection should be toward the betterment of your lives together.
Whatever decisions are made should have both parties in mind.
Patience and lots of TLC, even when things are rocky.
But don't worry, it will come to you as you grow together.
Hope this helped!:)

It is a 50/50, shared relationship..... one spouse should not be doing more than another, thats when confict arises....
Cook together, do the dishes together, fold the clothes together...
Not only will it bond you to closer together, things around the house will get done quicker and then you have more time for funner things... :)

what you expect of each other is something that should be discussed before marriage. If it is discussed at this time nobody is disappointed later
