Men generally have possessive attitude and also they treat women as if they are powerless in many aspects. Since civilization started men have been taking major decision on all families’ related matters. Even now women stand behind the doors when men engage in conversation in verandas. As it is not correct one our part to come to a conclusion that the men might given to the relationship more importance than careers. As far as women concern they are forced to give relationship more importance than careers also they are capable of any matters in dependently splendidly. There are events when women try to give their careers more importance the relationship ended in divorce in some cases. They being emotional and spiritual give the relationship more importance inorder to safeguard the family welfare burying their ability and ambition. On the whole I think the women give the relationship more importance than their handsome careers.pls share your opinion and reason for the same.

REcently in one of the popular channels there were interviews and conference among the women regarding relationship. In the changing scenario, there is a onslought on the culture of the people that more and more women folks are going out for jobs, as a result the children are not take care properly. This is leading to some sort of improper bringing up of children which ultimately will have a bearing on the behaviour and culture of the family which has been preserved and continued for long. So under the circumstances, relatively less and less importance are given for relationships by women folks other wise they have been in the forefront in giving priority to relatinship. Also adding to this, the disparities in income and standard of living has direct bearing on this. More and more housewives want to set up the family better than their counterpart/cousins/relatives/neighbours. This mass influence have resulted in women going out to make the money. In the bargin, they tend to loose the grip on relationships most often. Answer for your topic by and large depends on the country and the religion. In countries like China, Japan, India, may be a few islamic countries, where the family is regarded as most important institution which is based on strong foundation of relationship between husband and wife. Elsewhere the relationships are being given a goby like one changes the shirt and there is no aim or objective in life.

It is interesting that you say this. My husband is sort of between. He wants to be in relationship and work more on that but then he will stay at work for a long long time. I have basically become a single mom here I just feel like he has a hard time dealing with our kids he does love them that is for sure, but when it comes to their well being he just wants me to be in charge of it and if he feels that he does not like what I am doing then I have to change it somehow all by myself. I have had conversations with him about this and I have said to him, you have to help out I can not do it all. I can not do ALL the housework, I can not do all the kids activities and parenting and checking out schools and the like. You have to have a hand in it. You can not just go to work and then breeze through thinking that you can just come home and mess up the house. I am not always going to clean it!!! It sucks, I hate that our house is messy but now I am returning to work too, we have to have more income and it just sucks!!! But that is the way it has to be...he wants no part in helping me with childcare he just says "I just want to make sure that they are not in a day care" I met a nanny share and it was great and we are going to put something together, the dad was so involved with it too...I am just sort of relying on them to find all the work for me and just tell me the cost.... It is hard to be a single mom and I am not even single, but I feel like a single mom sometimes!
