Scenario 1:
It sounds to me that marriage is all about compromise, hardship, suffering, difficulty, ungratefulness, expectation, battle constantly, tolerance and on top of all of this, expect never to get a thanks or your kids may throw you in the elder homes or want nothing to do with you. That is, if you managed to survive the marriage where the children becomes adult.
Scenario 2:
It sounds to me that marriage is all about compromise, hardship, suffering, difficulty, ungratefulness, expectation, battle constantly, tolerance and on top of all of this, expect a divorce may happen and you have to constantly fight to see your kids and deal with parental alienation, poisoning children agains tthe father, that is usually 98% of what happens. Opposite case are only 2% even if it look like the majority. And in additional to that, societal expectation that as a man you have to take it where there are endless social programs to support women and make them stand on your feet you as a man will aways be on your own to fight.
Hmmmm....what part of worth it in this entire marriage that you guys are reallly selling it?
OK how about this. I have a scenario and tell me if it works, ok? Women always want to compete with men and are always jealous men have certain rights that women don't have. For example, why should a wife be obedient to the husband. Women hate this a lot. Another one, why should a man be allowed to marry more than one wife while she can only marry one husband at a time. This part cause majority of women to foam with loathing and hatred. Why is the right of divorce in the hand of the husband alone? This is an going battle by many women. Another thing that majority of women hate is the distribution of wealth. Why do boys have more than girls?
OK...so let us go with this scenario and see if the sisters would be happy with this. We have a town where every boy makes an agreement with the girl or whoever is the one who makes the agreement that the boy does not take double than the girl,ok? Then we make an agreement a contract between the husband and the wife that the husband will not pay mahir and will not financially support the wife and on top of it will give the right to divorce to the wife. Also, in exchange the husband will give away his right to enjoy his wife in intemacy, the wife is not obliged to be intemat with the husband at all, in additional they make an agreement that the wife does not need to be obedient to the husband at all. So, we pretty much, agree that the man is willing to give away all his right and give it to the woman in exchange the woman works by herself and take care of herself financially and since he have given all his right, it is no longer obligatory on him to financially take care of the children. I need to know how many sisters will be happy with this. Would the sisters be loving to their husband if they are the boss of the house and still find their husband attractive? The husband of course is no longer obliged to financially take care of the home and children, his money is his spending money of course, he sits home take care of the children, the house, and he looks nice for his wife. But to avoid the wife divorcing for fun, we make also an agreement that if the wife divorces the husband, the custody of the children goes to the father automatically and he takes his children to his parents. The wife visits the children and of course she have to pay child support. But, she getto play the boss and bark orders around, she get to play the man's role. Would women then be happy? I am just wondering.
Of course, this is all in agreement between the spouses not changing religion of Allah's law, this is an agreement to be done before marriage and is intiated between both parties. That means--both parties are aware of what they are going into.
I just want a happy home and if women hate that men have rights that women don't have, let us reverse gender role by sign of agreement. There, you women are now men and men now are women. Would these women be happy then? Would you have then a happy home? Would you be calmn now, no more nagging, no more shouting, screaming and been ungrateful to your partner anymore? Would you have a solid home?
And the answer to the above quesiton is: No. if you tell women that men are unnecessary and you are the superior sex and the world revolve around you, you would still be unhappy, For young men out there who is going to get married, you need to think really hard before you do. Are you ready, are you willing to be responsible for such hardship? Are you willing to be the sacrifial lamp? The lamp that expected to be slaughtered and that is your duty. If you are not, don't get married. You are really doing a thankless job from both wife and children.
