Drew's Solution to The Dave's concept
"TeacherMama" wrote in message ... Now, by men keeping the assets they earned, do you mean that the women should be booted out of the house they were buying because the man's earned money made the payments? No, I don't think so. Because each did their share through mutually agreed upon roles that they assumed in the marriage. Here is what I am saying. There are two types of marriage arrangements. The first is the one you have cited in this thread with me and elsewhere with Max. That marriage arrangement is based on DEPENDENCE with each party depending on the other for accomplishing a role. This was the pre-women's movement marriage model but some couples still believe this is a sound basis for a marriage. The post-women's movement marriage model, and the one supported by the family law changes that have occurred since the 60's, is based on INDEPENDENCE. The parties have decided they will live independent of each other with separate careers, separate checking accounts, separate (fill in the blanks). This second marriage model has weakened marriage and created a dramatically increased divorce rate. Our laws support the decline of marriage by giving women government sponsored incentive advantages they did not have before in the dependent marriage model. What I am objecting to (and I believe Max is objecting to as well) is the thought process that couples should be able to choose between the dependent or independent marriage model for their marriage, yet if the marriage fails the women should get the full force of legal protections provided for in the law for the newer independent marriage model PLUS the more traditional dependence model marriage protections. My objection is women shouldn't have it both ways when they exit a marriage. |
