A much debated topic in society, and where women have raised their flags, I have been in a relationship with my wife for about 20 years and we have not entered into conflict by trying to impose one on the other, to see who is in charge or takes the reins of the relationship.
For many decades the man was automatically attributed this responsibility, or else he gave it to himself, and the woman was the one who had to obey, in many parts of the world it is still like that, but in much of the world everything has changed.
The concept of a loving relationship brings together two people, who unite with the purpose of forming a family, and the new members (sons and daughters) have to accept the terms of their parents for equal shares of responsibility.
Traditionally, only the man worked and the woman had to stay at home to take care of the family, that gave the man the head of the household, and the woman accepted it naturally without opposing it.
As everything in life, time changes and our customs too, and gender equality is here to stay, giving the correct meaning to the term couple, and family responsibility, so in a real couple there should be no dominance one over the other, both at the same horizontal level to raise the family shoulder to shoulder, without using the old opinion, who wears the pants in the house, as this criterion has been transformed and expanded to the two genders that make up the couple.
This topic of gender inequality has been the topic that most people usually debate about, but to look more closely, couple's (both husband and wife) deserve respect and not a situation where one impose rules to another but it is good for one to listened because people advise also matters in our life.
It is a controversial topic, but it is necessary to discuss it with everyone, since relationships today are more balanced and responsibilities are shared.
