When we hear the word “wedding”, we immediately think of celebration, party, music, and laughs. But once the wedding ends, the marriage starts, and although a marriage can also be associated with joy, it involves a lot of serious work as well. A long, happy marriage takes commitment and compromise from both sides, and requires the couple to be able to talk through their differences in search of common ground.
If that doesn’t happen, conflict is bound to occur. This is especially true when the couple chooses to have a child, because the family dynamics tend to change and become more complex, as each parent accumulates their own responsibilities and aspirations.
Of course, there is no right or wrong way to do things. There’s no definitive guide that shows which decision to take in each situation – after all, each person is unique, as is each circumstance. So it’s natural that every once in a while, one might have doubts about whether or not they’re being reasonable when taking a stand on a particular issue.
This was the case for a woman who wanted to know if she was right to ask her husband for a “salary” to be a stay-at-home mom.
