The idea that the women of the past used to spend all day looking after their children, or cleaning plates, is an illiterate recidivist's fantasy. In victorian england almost every woman had to work full-time. And well-off women who didn't work, didn't care for children either (children were bad for their complexion) - they spent all day playing their favourite schumann piano sonatas in the drawing women. |
i dont know what any of that has to do with choosing a women to be your wife and the mother of your children.
i also dont see what rmoance has to do with a successful marriage, unless you think good marriage = one based completely on emotions. the high divorce rate due in large part to women deciding their husbands arent romantic enough, despite what the divorce will do to their children, doesn't seem like much fun. but yeah I guess romance is what matters in a marriage. all that matters is how you feel, folks! remember that.
i cant imagine too many men "like" going to work everyday to feed their family. no ones talking about "liking" anything. but if you want a family then dont' be surprised when it falls apart because you decided romance and excitement are more important than something as simple as being home for your children and making sure they eat well.
