[quote=Anonymous]OP sounds very naive. Which is to be expected from someone newly married. I believed in outdated gender roles when I was a young newlywed, too. Probably most of us did. Once you’ve been in the trenches a few years, have had a couple kids, and face real hardships, you figure out that being a good spouse has absolutely nothing to do with gender roles, men providing, and women being submissive. Probably quite the opposite, my first marriage was very traditional and fell apart. Same with my female friends in the same role. My second marriage is equal, in fact many of the “gender roles” are reversed, and we’re rock-solid. We do so well because we decided to base our marriage off of things like friendship, mutual respect, genuinely cherishing each other, etc rather than superficial things like “good provider” or “hot”. If you want a solid marriage, I’d recommend going through Gottman Institute courses. They’re extremely helpful. [/quote]
