It is just an evolutionary process and because of the fact that at the moment there is a kind of interim phase in which women become aware of this, sometimes after having been married and often already having children, you see so many divorces.

Especially because nowadays child (day) care has become so much better. Women know that, because of this, they are able to keep their job, also when they have to take care of their children alone.

It would be better in future if a man and a woman who want to get married, first go and live together unmarried for a while, making sure that the woman will not become pregnant during that period.

When they really have shared ups and downs living together they could decide to get married on a much better basis.

This is the experience of a woman of the first generation of the anti-conception pill which gave women so much more freedom to be able to decide for themselves what they want and what they do not want.

I raised my children with this knowledge in the background.

Men have had this for ages.
Women who now are able to have these choices are not likely to give up on them.

Sharing responsibility on a fifty:fifty in every aspect for men and women, would be the ideal evolution in my humble view.

I have only now reached this at the age of 65, but my children are doing this already in a natural way.

Undoubtedly, men and women both must have a satisfactory relationship.But, the craving for equality is destroying relationships. Men and women are natural complements of each other and they should maintain that – without seeking equality – which directly destroys their very complimentary nature.

Secondly – we should never seek perfect matches and perfect relationships. They just don’t exist. So, we must adjust with imperfections.

There are excesses by men and women both – beyond acceptable limits – which must be watched and set right through social pressures – since a marital partner cannot singly tackle a few of such imperfections.

Divorce is not the best answer in most cases. But, it has become the easiest.
We must find other ways to make relationships more harmonious and long lasting.

It will never happen between me and my husband but I have reached the stage where I am able to really live my own life now and never have had such a fulfilling creative life on my own as now.

We are having a l.a.t. relation: living apart together. As long as we respect each other’s freedom in every aspect, this works for both sides.

It still is a most difficult task to find the so-called ‘right’ guy or gal for youngsters and there is no general rule to give them than just let them sort it out by themselves.
