What role should a woman play once married?

For example; Should the woman be submissive, supportive, hand's off and let the man do everything or should they both be treated as equal with small acceptions?


  • This is absurd.

    The role of a woman in a marriage depends entirely on the marriage itself. It depends on the people in it. And who's to say that it's a MAN and a WOMAN? Perhaps it's a man and a man, or a woman and a woman.

    I don't believe that there should be set roles and requirements when it comes to being in a relationship. I say be yourself and don't sacrifice that for ANYONE.

  • there are as many roles for women, as there are women.

    hmmm, this is kind of strange you ask what role a woman should play after she's married and go on to clarify for us with this statement:

    For example; Should the woman be submissive, supportive, hand's off and let the man do everything or should they both be treated as equal with small acceptions?

    With small exceptions? What does that mean?

    In the two choice options you mention you basically ask should she be less equal? Or just slightly less equal.

    To answer your question though, I think her married role should be whatever works best for her and her relationship. Sometimes its easier for the woman to take charge, and in other relationships its easier for the man to take charge, and still in other relationships it's difficult for either partner to take the lead, or step back. A woman's role is hard to pin down as there are as many roles for women, as there are women.

  • Depends
    This depends on the marriage, on the people, on the relationship as a whole.

    My boyfriend and I- I can't cook. He's an AMAZING cook. I'm lax about cleaning. I'm unorganized, and I like to stay busy with a job and extra schoolwork. He's lazy... likes staying home, watch TV, mess around on the internet. Doesn't like jobs, doesn't like working too hard on any one thing.

    Those examples mean that there aren't set gender roles within our relationship. Once we're married, that won't change. It won't be a- He goes off to work in the morning and comes back to a clean house and dinner on the table.- type things. It just goes where it goes.

    Every other relationship is like that as well. Everyone is different. It might be one of those situations, or it might be the other way around completely. Like I said, it depends entirely on the people and the relationship.
