What should a woman expect from marriage?

Answer 1

The short is your best friend.

The term "life partner" better describes the relationship that should be present simply because she will be your partner in life. Someone to share life with whatever happens. Another way to look at it would be to consider each of you only 25% your own person, the other 75% you each put in a comunal pot for you to share.

Expectations: clean, prepare hot dinners, have a tidy house and a smile on her face when you return home from work. I'm a western woman and I act exactly like that.

Your expectations should be what you agreed upon before marraige, plus the expectations of any shared culture. If you didn't discuss your expectations before you married, you need to do so now. There are no universal rules about what marraige is, especially in Western cultures, and because of this it is important that you discuss expectations and don't simply make assumptions. Remember, it doesn't matter what you expect if your wife doesn't share your expectations or isn't aware of them.

Beyond that, the only generally accepted expectations of a spouse are some level committment to staying married and some level of concern for their spouse, and for both adults to share the responsibilities of a household according to their abilities. Equally able adults should contribute equally, and from those to whom much is given, much shall be expected.

If your wife is extremely capable and you are extremely incapable, this may mean that she does all the housework plus cares for the children mostly without your help while you merely hold an 8-to-5 job. If you are stronger and she is weaker, it may mean that you work a full-time job and then do most of the housework plus take the children on Saturday afternoons so she can have time with friends. There are legitimate reasons for either situation - for example, a disabled spouse who can hardly walk will probably do little housework and may have a hard time keeping up with the children. Further, depending on culture, abilities, and resources, contributing according to abilities could mean that she works full-time while the husband stays home, that both parents work full-time to get the resources their family needs and share housework, or that both parents work part-time and enjoy a rich family life while sharing the housework.

Reasonable expectations can vary greatly, which is why it is so important that spouses discuss their expectations and try to avoid simply making assumptions. Cultural guidelines, like the traditional family, can be very useful if both partners accept them - but both partners need to accept them, or they will merely become a source of contention and bitterness.

Fidelity, respect and mutual support. Those are the universal expectations that married people are entitled to.

Answer 3

• Most women are romantics and therefore they want respect; admiration to a point; told they are pretty; that the man loves her; on occasion he does nice things for her such as buying her a small or even an inexpensive gift; takes her out to the movies or possibly dinner every so often and shows pride when he is around her; interested in things she is interested in and a good listener. On the other end she should be doing the same things for her husband.
