    these young people seem to have a more liberated mindset rather than the old fashion way. besides women are no longer in the home getting pregnant at nights and popping babies. some of these women are the driving force of that household financially. to be honest when I look at the way women are these days they dont even need men..so it really doesnt matter. the next video should be whether woman should even marry these dudes? Antigua.news if you guys want idea then let me know.

    I love 🥰 the answers from the younger generation as there appears to be an understanding of the fact that marriage is a partnership and a meeting of minds as well as hearts. Let’s teach our children that marriage is a commitment but it is not a “goal” as too often (in the past) marriage was seen as something a woman needed and not to have it was to be seen as failing … but, speaking from experience I can honestly say that the “failure” of society was a “forced” belief of what a woman can independently achieve and as such she does not have to be married to be seen as a meaningful contributor to society. She does not have to be a mother orca wife … these are personal choices and hers to make. As for men in today’s society … their role is changing but they are still needed and valued as fathers and when that role can be performed alongside a partner with equal goals, values and outlook on life marriage can be great .. but hits not easy -in the end it should not matter who asks whom of the respect, love and understanding is there. I also think that women are more likely to take the lead if it their 2nd marriage as they are far more aware of what it takes to be married and that the romantic notion of what is taught to us when we are youngsters is far from the reality of married life.
