We are a transition generation; the husbands want to be like their
fathers, the wives thankfully don't have to take it like their mothers
- they are financially free. Stress, lack of time at home, yada yada
yada is just icing on the cake.

The next generation will IMO handle this much better.

The next generation will probably decide to be single. Women will finally
figure out (just like they have done in europe) that they dont need a man
anymore. I have a couple of cousins who are slaving like fools to save

Notice the birth rate in Europe. Demographics is hitting us hard, and birth
rate has been going down hereabouts for some 100+ odd years. You definitely do 
not want to do it overnight.

2007-08-05 Thread Radhika, Y.
Parents slaving for their daughter's wedding...which might end in a
divorce!!! someone very wise said: forget about the wedding, it is the
marriage that is more important. We Indians are highly goal focused rather
than process oreinted-I suspect that old fashioned contempt for dating also
has to do with intolerance for ambiguity and low risk tolerance ather than
mere morality. Of course, this is easier to say in hindsight, but as a
divorced woman in the early 90s when it was less
prevalent/fashionable/acceptable to admit one's immaturity or flawed
decision-making, I can truly say that the women who did not meet THE ONE
before they hit 30 were blessed whether they knew it or not. And not just
for financial reasons.
