has feminism assist destroy marriage?

Answer 1

No, incompatibility ruins marriages. You must have the same sense of humour, interests and outlook on life.

Answer 2

Hi killer....I don't feel that feminism destroys a marriage. I do however feel that some issues can be based on feminism but it takes two to make a marriage work and just not one-sided. The most common issue that destroys a marriage is the lack of communication and distrust. A marriage is a 50/50 unity. Each individual has an equal share in their union. If both don't have an equal share then the marriage is unbalanced so do speak. If one lacks trust and faith then their isn't much "love" to hold it together. Love is like a glue in a marriage. It bonds securely to hold the marriage together in case of problems and issues that arise. Now some, not all, marriages have difficulties when the woman per say might have a better paying job than the man and issues arise due to jealousy or just the fact the woman is making more than the man. This does happen. Unfortunately, society has made this a man's world so do speak and if a woman just happens to do better issues arise. Man does not like a woman to do better than himself. It's a true fact. Men hate it. But if a man and woman truly love each other, this issue shouldn't get in the way of their marriage. Have a great day!

Answer 3

There are two ways to look at it. One: no, feminism hasn't, what it really did was to redefined marriage, & it's men who disagree that that definition that would rather not marry 'these strong women', or if they do decide 'she's too opinionated/stuborn for them' & so opt out of the marriage. Another way of viewing it is that: a few women have taken this feminism thing to the extreme that they have become like men, & so have no need for men more of less. Well, no one likes to hang around where they are not needed, so sooner or later (for those women lucky enough to get a man brave enough to ignore all those 'bad' signs to marry them), the man tires of living with a fellow man & leaves. But, then, i'd say it's not feminism that is at fault (unfortunately many men would like to have it balmed). Feminism has taught lots of women self-esteem, has enpowered them to be better wivies, mothers, & citizens, providers etc. On the other hand, it has sown some bad seeds, in empathsizing (unknowingly) in masculain attributes, when it's supposed to be promoting all that is good & wonderful about being a female.

Answer 4

As has been pointed out by a couple of posters, feminism didn't just assist. Feminism is the sole cause of the recent (past 40 years) upsurge in divorce and has led to many more people refusing to play the rigged game.
Feminism brought about the "no-fault" divorce laws in the US with their constant political meddling. With the "no-fault" laws, groups like NOW have been very politically active in notifying judges, legislators, senators, congresspeople, lawyers and anyone else they can intimidate and control that laws, rules and judgments had 'better' go more to benefit women than men. (See now.org for pac statements, protests and other methods of swaying, blackmailing or otherwise controlling officials)
I'll go one step further and say that feminism has not just destroyed marriage but society in general. We live in a society where the causes of crime, divorce, unmarried mothers, welfare and tons of other social pathologies are directly or indirectly caused or badly affected by feminism, yet there are many still clinging to the idea that if enough "touchy-feely" laws that benefit only women are in place, everything will be just hunky-dorey.

Feminism is not about equality, it is about special rights without responsibility for women only.

Answer 5

To a certain extent yes. But the roots go deeper than that. There was nothing wrong in a little liberation for women but what killed off marriage and family relationships was the fact that women had to work after the children came along to make ends meet. The social demands became greater and greater and they production of more and better things had the effect of needing two earnings to keep up with society. My mum stayed at home and looked after the family and home. She was there for my dad and her nine children, 24/7. It was great and secure. How many women can say that they have done this in the last 20 or so years. Very few, I would say. Bring back the old system. Wives stay at home and husbands earn enough to keep the family and home together. Full pension at the end of it too.

Answer 6

Nope, it's absolutely incontrovertible that feminism has not destroyed marriage.

Another poster seems to be living in the past (or somewhere different than quite a few of us):

-The Female Eunuch was written in 1971, how does that relate to TODAY to marriage issues?
-Never heard of a "declaration of feminism". Is this statement recent or also from the 1970's?
-Never heard of Sheila Cronan until today, she was active in the 1970-80's. Has she done anything in the last 5-10 years, related to marriage issues?

-I didn't "fight" for no-fault divorce, and haven't been affected by it, so I have no idea if it's bad or good. I don't know any feminists who did "fight for it". Maybe a national discussion on the issue should be proposed, to find out how *all* of those affected would like divorce laws to be changed?
-I didn't "fight" for the way child custody is implemented, so I have no idea who set it up or how it is implemented. Sounds like judges with gender stereotypes are the ones enforcing it. Maybe a judicial workshop on gender stereotypes would be helpful?

Answer 7

It's interesting that the answers that nay say the opinion that feminism is the downfall of marriage have all gotten thumb's downs, even though the answerers are pointing out that the blame for a marriage being destroyed lies with the individuals in the marriage. I agree with them, what destroys a marriage is the people that are married, not an ideal that women and men are economically, politically, and socially equal.

Answer 8

Sometimes, letting go seems like the easiest thing to do. But think about this: you've invested so much of your time and energy into another person; you've made a solemn promise; and you still know there's love, even if it's hiding underneath the surface.

Answer 9

Since it is WOMEN who decide if they will marry a man

and the majority of divorces are initiated by WOMEN

and WOMEN are taught by feminists to make stupid decisions.

YES I would say feminism is destroying marriage.

1. It makes women have unrealistic views of marriage
2. It gives women the sense that they can marry the wrong guy and then manipulate him to her needs, which does not work
3. No fault divorce, a feminist concept, makes people not want to work things out
4. Women disrespect and despise men, which makes them take the easy way out.

I will not marry in this society, EVER. Women prove over and over in this country that they do not respect or understand the concept of sacrifice for the sake of the sanctity of a marriage.

Instead, they think it is a joke.

Answer 10

Uh, no.

I say this partly because marriage isn't destroyed.

Some marriages have been destroyed by the husband's unwillingness to consider his wife as a human being, but that's hardly feminism's fault.

Any man who refused to accept the idea that women are human beings doesn't deserve to have a woman in his life.

Answer 11

If your spouse says "I have fallen out of love with you" don't panic. It doesn't mean your marriage is over. It doesn't even mean they don't love you. How to get your spouse to love you again https://tr.im/hQEuZ

What it does mean is that your spouse has lost their way, or doesn't understand the many stages love and a relationship goes through.

You are being called to take charge of the situation, guide your spouse towards understanding this process, and even begin to rekindle your relationship.

The key to success is in understanding what is happening in your marriage and the role that love plays. It's very easy for us to connect losing the feelings of being in love with actual loving when it is not really the case.
