Actually i think girls in the west should be sent east for training in the art of looking after a husband. They could learn all sorts of good things, how to belly dance I think should be the first priority 😛

Eastern girls give you a bath and a gentle massage, sing lilting songs, recite poetry and them make you a sumptuous feast. Western girls flick through glossy magazines with expensive things in them, and make to do lists, and expect you do something other than play chess in the house! West maybe the best, but East is proverbial in its hospitality!

On the contrary, i travelled east to avoid them and married a beautiful Punjabi girl. My statement was a product of experience, not of inexperience. And yours. . . .

Originally posted by mlpriorWhy is that surprising? Are you saying that there is no cultural differences which have a bearing on ones disposition towards ones spouse in a relationship? How do you therefore explain the almost negligible rate of divorce in say India (1.1% ) compared to the United states of America, presently at about (50% )

Sooo the breaking up of family is emancipation, how do you figure that?
How do you explain the strong correlation between divorce rates and gender equality? Or between marital equality and divorce rates?

Eh...so taking advantage of The effects of mistreatment is a good thing?
I've been watching this thread with intrest. I think i can call my wife "Eastern" although i may need confirmation on that, but i think that there is a great difference in the treatment of women in the country my wife is from compared to the country your good wife comes from...Although i agree that what you are describing is pretty sweet, to say that it is better than equal rights and proper treatment of women is a pretty flimsey argument at best. I think a happy medium could be found, and i personally think draconian treatment of women is not a good grounds for lauding it's results.
I have no need or want to explain, describe, or publicise the way my wife acts or treats me, enough to say that i am very happy with my life, and that there are cultural differences between the west and the east...some good, some bad. I have been careful not to insult you in this post, or your wife.
Originally posted by robbie carrobieWhile I understand you are being facetious, perhaps if you described less of your wife's waiting on you and as if her role were only to please you, and instead or perhaps more of, describe WHO she is as a person and her qualities as a human being, it would probably represent her better.

I think when two people love eachother, they work to please eachother and take care of eachother, not just one doing all the work. Belly dancing doesn't keep relationships together, nor does singing, etc. When you describe women like your mother or a maid, it's not very flattering, to you or her.
Originally posted by PalynkaIs that supposed to be an explanation? Perhaps you are unaware that a partner for life, actually means a partner for life. Indeed it is common for not only women to remain unmarried, but also men, making your point of stigmatisation, rather ineffectual. I do not explain divorce rates in those terms, those are you terms not mine, i thought i made it clear that it has nothing to do with equality, perceived or otherwise, indeed, i think its both a moral issue and a culture of expediency.
If divorced women are not stigmatized and are self-sufficient they more readily agree to leave a non-functional relationship.

Originally posted by SunburntBelly dancing can go a long way, though.
