Marriage is safe when wives work ByMandira Srivastava, Bangalore, India
Few decades back a perfect home is used to recognize as a place that comprises a breadwinner and a homemaker who looks after the kids and home. Growing need to live luxurious life has made women to think about earning money for supporting her family. But this is not the only reason why women want to do jobs. From the last many years women have been victim of domestic violence. Almost everyday you will read a case of domestic violence in newspaper. I can say that working women have to face less violence at home as compare to non- working women. Amrita Pant, a microbiologist married to Mahesh Bhattacharya, an MMBS doctor five years ago opted to scarifies her career to take care her home and kids. Now she is facing harsh comments from her husband for not adding dollars in their household earning. Mahesh don’t bother to even think about the effect of his words have on her causing her to be depressed.
That’s why we are seeing that more and more women are coming out of their places to prove their excellence in each and every field like IT, Hotel and Hospitality, Industry, Media, Government jobs and the list goes on. There is no field left out where women have not proven themselves.
I have come across with a study that stated that marriages are more stable when women work. The study was done on 67-million married working women in the U.S. It shows a growing equity among couples when it comes to income, decision-making, parenting and housekeeping as we all know money matters for all of these things. Married working couples can easily solve their financial problems that might be a cause of sever bitter arguments between the two. Marriage can be broken due to many reasons like money, sex, housekeeping, addictions, physical, emotional or sexual abuse and communication gap. But in case of working couples, money will not be the part of their fight. I feel working wives have changed the face of father of child to REAL FATHER OF CHILD who does not hesitate in changing nappies , feeding babies, preparing food for his kids.
Earlier in traditional family, it was evident that children were more attached towards their mother. Children of particular family used to share their problems, achievements and happiness with their mother and not with father. The reason could be assiduous jobs of breadwinner of the family that gives him less time to mingle with his kids.
If the trend of working women goes on, it will also help children to be emotionally attached with both their parents because both will try to spend quality time with their kids. So that women’s employment and earnings increase marital stability. Beside all these job gives satisfaction, confidence and independence to a woman. In general I must say that we all should give women a supportive environment where they can flourish and grow like men.
