The Woman In Your Life...!!!....Good One Here is a girl, who is as much educated as you are; Who is earning almost as much as you do; One, who has dreams and aspirations just as you have because she is as human as you are; One, who has never entered the kitchen in her life just like you or your Sister haven't, as she was busy in studies and competing in a system that gives no special concession to girls for their culinary achievements One, who has lived and loved her parents & brothers & sisters, almost as much as you do for 20-25 years of her life; One, who has bravely agreed to leave behind all that, her home, people who love her, to adopt your home, your family, your ways and even your family name One, who is somehow expected to be a master-chef from day #1, while you sleep oblivious to her predicament in her new circumstances, environment and that kitchen One, who is expected to make the tea, first thing in the morning and cook food at the end of the day, even if she is as tired as you are, maybe more, and yet never ever expected to complain; to be a servant, a cook, a mother, a wife, even if she doesn't want to; and is learning just like you are as to what you want from her; and is clumsy and sloppy at times and knows that you won't like it if she is too demanding, or if she learns faster than you; One, who has her own set of friends, and that includes boys and even men at her workplace too, those, who she knows from school days and yet is willing to put all that on the back-burners to avoid your irrational jealousy, unnecessary competition and your inherent insecurities; Yes, she can drink and dance just as well as you can, but won't, simply because you won't like it, even though you say otherwise One, who can be late from work once in a while when deadlines, just like yours, are to be met; One, who is doing her level best and wants to make this most important relationship in her entire life a grand success, if you just help her some and trust her; One, who just wants one thing from you, as you are the only one she knows in your entire house - your unstinted support, your sensitivities and most importantly - your understanding, or love, if you may call it. But not many guys understand this... Well... Give it a thought now!!

Hi Kety, THanks god i am a woman and majority of the descriptions you mentioned here hit me right to the core. That's the essence of being a WOMAN and i am proud to be one. I am just blessed that i met a person who provided me all the support, love, strength and inspiration to battle life being with him. He is not only a husband but always a lover, a friend and a PARTNER!

Before my marriage girls were dream to me. I was rather romantic. But in practical life whether a girl can cook or not does not matter to me. To learn some thing depend on practical situation. A girl who has ability to cope with the situation and ready to share every thing with her partner she is the perfect bride.She must be educated and be polite . At the same time she should be respondent against injustice and misdeeds.

Here we are discussing the sacrifices a woman makes and whether she is being appreciated for all that she does in her wedded home. Today a woman is as educated or more than a man and works shoulder to shoulder to bear the cost. Even if she is a housewife, she is to be appreciated. Yes, she too should be there for her husband and share all the ups and downs in life. It should be a union of two souls and not just two bodies.

We should not forget that there are women exactly opposite of what you have said and the hen pecked husbands will agree with my statement.Some women cannot accept freedom too and they are completely dependent.Yet,now a days city side girls are competing with men to earn and stand on their own legs.As the first responder said,you are speaking about the typical woman of some twenty years back.We have to salute such noble girls in our life.

Hey sr, has the world really changed so much ? No, I can understand that city girls are working shoulder to shoulder with men to support the family, and yet they are expected to do household chores, cook, bring up children, etc. with very little help from the husband. I am talking of husbands in general and not the few henpecked ones. Whether a woman is dependent or not, she still needs to be cherished and appreciated for all the sacrifices she makes in life. That is the core of my discussion. Thanks.

I think that what you said was exactly right twenty years ago.But the situation has changed,and the women's position in the family has become more important the men's.

Has it ?? There are still places in the world where the woman is treated as second fiddle and has to walk behind her husband or do the hard work whilst he lazes away. I sincerely hope you are right and the world is changing for the better and the same amount of love and respect is bestowed on the woman in your life. Thanks.
