ALT-8 Best Reasons to Marry
The best reason to get married, hummm that's like a catch 22. I think the Norman Rockwell picture of the perfect life is dead. First of all this question was presented to me and my peers in college by my sociology professor. Some of the answers were love, finance, and kids. Well to our surprise he told us that all of us were wrong, and then he softly said "friendship". Now after he said that I knew right off he knew what he was talking about, but I didn't know at that time how much of a challenge it was and still is to this day to find a true friendship between man and woman. It's really a shame how now a days some women let their emotions over ride their better judgment about the man they married. Now I know that most or all women won't agree with me, but most men will when I say that out of all the things that we as men have to put up with in everyday life, which is considered our responsibility, you would think our spouse would jump at the chance to do something that we like, to show their appreciation for what we do for them and the family on a daily basis. I mean are men not expected to have a bad day or lord forbid she's on one of her emotional roller coasters and we can't seem to do anything right.Respect is a big deal when it comes to men and I think women have lost, forgotten, or just don't care how to respect us any more. Who's the man in the marriage these days? Because it seems that women want us to be the man when its convenient to them like when the oil needs changing, the grass need cut, the garbage needs taking out, or there's a noise downstairs "oh honey go check it out because you're the man". What about when we say I don't want you wearing that or no more spending on the credit cards, why aren't we respected then? Somehow the rules have changed it used to be that women respected what their husband said now it seems as if that phrase "you are just trying to control me" keep coming up as an excuse for them to not listen to what we have to say. I supposed if you found someone that you respect and respect you and not let their friends effect their judgment to respect their spouses' wishes, then maybe that would be a good reason to consider marriage. I believe with in a marriage it's just you and your spouse against the world and no one or thing should come between that. It's such a double standard now men are expected to contain their true feeling in fear of hurting the woman's feelings or to avoid a big argument meanwhile the woman gets away with saying what ever is on her mind. All I'm saying is when can we get the same respect that that we give.
