Band 6.5

In marriages today, some argue that it is the responsibility of both spouses to earn a living for the family. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

#marriages #argue #responsibility #spouses
Many these days contend that
both
 spouses should
work
 and provide for the entire family. In my opinion, though advisable in certain circumstances, it is preferable to subdivide roles within a family. Those who support
this
 argument focus on the righteousness of empowering
women
 in marriages. Historically,
women
 did not have the freedom in most cultures to
work
. In recent decades, as
women
 have gained more rights
both
 formally and informally in society,
this
 has allowed them to extend themselves through their careers. Connected to
this
 empowerment is
also
 a sense of duty. Not only do
women
 now have the opportunity to
work
 and develop their full potential but, they
also
 have the privilege of taking on greater responsibility. The end result is they can
both
 help alleviate financial burdens at home and gain improved self-esteem.
However
, a clear division of responsibilities in a family is the best way to nurture one’s child. If
both
parents
work
, as has become increasingly common in Western nations, there is a strong likelihood the children will be neglected. Though affluent families can mitigate
this
 drawback with a nanny to look after the children and a cleaner,
this
 is a poor substitute for the love of one’s actual
parents
.
Moreover
, most working-class families must simply
work
 harder at their jobs and at home.
This
 can produce significant fatigue over the long term and cause
parents
 to feel powerless, overextended, and even lead to anxiety conditions and depression. In

both
parents
 would have jobs but in ,reality
this
 does not allow for proper balance in a family.
This
 does not imply that only males should have jobs as either the husband or wife can become the primary earner.
