People who believe that women should serve men (not all conservatives feel this way) also believe that men serve women by funding their lifestyles. As for her needs outside the home, her marriage, and her children, they don't believe that there are any.

I'm a conservative so I guess I'll answer. I don't think it's woman's need to nurture or serve men, the former (nurture) would be nice though, but the latter I don't care for. The whole point of a relationshiop is to nurture one another.

I can't speak for every one; just for myself. I'm quite sure you heard of the term you scratch my back I'll scratch yours; this is what happens in a good relationship; one turn deserves another. Why not? We want just as much appreciation as the other. One way is to show respect. There are so many ways a man can show respect towards his wife; for instance he can kiss her hand and, or say thank you or just simply kiss her hand. When he needs something he can request for it politely. When she becomes ill, as "Sam" has done for me on countless occasions whenever I was ravaged by a migraine, he'll do for her like he did for me, stroke her head telling her how much he and the kids love and appreciate her. When he's been ill I returned the favor by nursing him back to health. Even when she's feeling her brightest he'll blurt out quite unexpectedly "I love you and I appreciate you."
You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours a simply play upon words meaning respect. A man isn't willing to do that; then he's not worth the ground he walks on.

That is a great question.
Women are not to solely serve and nurture man's needs.
This must be a 50/50 involvement if the relationship lives.............
Care taking can be detrimental to a person's health and lifestyle.
If you need to live for a man and his needs, you may want to ask yourself, "What do you need?"
It would mean that you are filling you life with care taking and are in a relationship that give you perks for taking care someone while your own needs are not defined.
A relationship has to give you as much as you give him..........
Later you will be burned out, or he may resent all that nurturing, care taking..........................
I find it insulting when someone thinks I am needy or need them to take care of me, but that is just my opinion..............
See what else there is in your relationship beside care taking.
Do you like things that are similar, sports, music, cooking, etc..........
Fill your lives with things that are life giving and fun............
Care taking is mandatory if there is a special need, like disability, chronic disorder, etc.............
If you are both healthy physically and mentally, there should be no issue............

Her husband. Who else? It's a give and take relationship.

Since women are supposedly stronger ( emotionally ) than men, why can't they just serve their own needs...?
