You have a very adequate view of family relationships, I just “give you a standing ovation.” All my life I have seen how family relationships are built on “schemes” and stereotypes, because “that’s the right way,” because that’s how it was with the parents and the parents’ parents, and so on… And new families continue this tradition. Women take on the baton of certain duties in the family, men do too. And not every family maintains a strong union without mutual support, distribution of responsibilities according to abilities and possibilities, sometimes the absence of children destroys the marriage. Although children in a family are not the main thing, and very often parents treat children as a burden, children interfere with their lives, although the male ego speaks of the continuation of the lineage. A vicious circle.
So what am I saying… I enjoyed reading about your attitude toward marriage and your reflections on it. My point of view has met with your opinion.
