I Dont Believe In Dating Just For the Sake of Dating

[c=#7700B2]feminists will hate me for this but I wish relationships were kinda like the old days.. you get married, have a faithful hard working husband who provides while the wife stays at home looking after the kids and cooking and whatever..

lol I say that but I would never allow myself to rely on someone financially like that but its a nice thought.
I love playing with kids and enjoy cooking.. It all seems so much less stressful compared to these days..

ahh the thought is nice at least[/c]

I want the traditional family like you. But for whatever reason I hate the power dynamic it represents. I want an equal partner, but a big traditional family. Who know right?

We are confusing what could be a "traditional family" today, with the way it used to be when women had no rights. So my view on the traditional family, should look like a coupling. Regardless of gender or sex and regardless gay straight or poly. Where a consensus of thought and idea come together so that there are family members doing a job to promote the health and welfar of the children and the family. Specifically, because the majority out there are heterosexual it would look like work play and pleasure all being kept in and around the family unit. The spouse with the career orientation, provides financial and what ever other things agreed on, and the nurturing spouse provides the day care and what ever other things agreed on. Equality does not mean making the same money and doing the same amount of work. It means the sharing of all responsibilities as to the needs of the family and the ability of the family members. Money isn't the only power, it's just what we have thought was the power because we cared more about power and money then family.
