The tie of marrigage is the basis of family.  Weakenig of marital ties results in a weakening of family ties and disorganisation of family.

The basis of husband and wife relationship in the modern family should be built on cooperation.  The stablity of the family can be maintained only by benevolence,empathy,sympathyand cooperation.  It is not easy to create these qualities.  It needs strong will and dedication.


Good Luck

But still in our times, male preferred to be the dominant in the house also also women starts to lead the family too that's why there are always conflict as to who will lead the house.

Only give and take attitude will save the families.In india You can see many combained families having more than 50 members which will possible only with gove & take attitude.Though now a days such families are decresing due to the influence of western culture by properly bringing the childrens we can attain it.

The best way to create a lasting marriage is to build it on "love and respect" for each other, as said....a give and take situation.

It must not be that 1 part automatic shall do what tradition tells...this will only lead to frustration.

We humans are all different...some are better in "controlling" other is better in caring. This don't always follow the sexes, and if a woman is better suited to be the dominant person in the family...the whole family will benefit from it....if she rule with "love and respect"

On the other hand, if both parts is of dominant type, the family will "suffer" or the weakest of them have to so...or if "smart" control the other part true  "manipulation" (not in bad meaning)  

But it seems the "forgiving" and "caring"part have been "lost" somewhere in the Western way of life....we are now up in around 50% divorce and most have started to live in partnership....so man might say that not all progress have the same value.

From one woman's point of view, let me add this. If a man is the one that is expected to go out to work all day and earn a living with the woman staying at home then things will always have to a combination. A woman in charge all day, dealing with crisis, knocks on the door, the shopping and maintenance? but then has to give that authority over to the man just because they walk through the door? Perhaps bring them their slippers and a drink and have dinner ready in a clean and tidy home?   Working the house is 50 times harder than working outside the house.
