Ten Questions to Ask A Man Before You Agree To Marry Him

A girlfriend sent me this hilarious article on the marriage topic from deadspin.com so wanted to post and comment on it. Although the author has added a tad bit of sarcasm (okay alot), he actually brings up some good questions that should definitely be discussed before taking the plunge.

After reading it, I had a realization that although my views of marriage (as commented above) are somewhat traditional, I have the complete opposite take when it comes to my views of the womans role in a marriage. Contradictory? Hubby attributes it to the fact that in my parents marriage, my mom did most of the cleaning, cooking, caretaking, and that my dad didn't really contribute much when it came to these "traditional" female tasks. And apparently after observing this dynamic growing up, I decided that was not for me! Don't get me wrong, I have great respect for my mom but also always felt she should've stood up to my dad more and make him help. So unfortunately for hubby he gets the remnants of this. :)

Maintaining the balance is always a bit of a sea saw act, but when it comes to taking care of the kids, the house, and cooking I expect my hubby to contribute and had certainly made that clear to him before we got married. Good thing I found someone that likes to cook!
