1. The difference between women today and women 40 years ago is very substantial. As the article explains in great depth, women today view independence as a norm and more so, a strong trait. Statistics show that more women are going to college to get degrees to land higher paying careers, rather than an average job. With this independent lifestyle comes buying homes by ones self, vacationing more, spending money on fashion, and constantly dating, while keeping marriage and child rearing on the back burner.
2. The norm for women these days is to graduate from college and get settled in a career long before any thoughts of marriage. Women are taking their time to establish themselves in the business world and enjoying the single lifestyle while doing so. Marriage comes after a steady career, but only if a husband is whiling to allow his wife to continue her career that she has built for years.
3. Women work much more now then they did in the past. As the article explained, Yoko Harruka, author of I Won’t Get Married, found a man that she was certain to marry until he brought up the idea that she would leave her job and be a housewife for him. This trend is degrading to many women who have poured so much into their jobs, only to be asked to leave it all behind and stay at home. With that being said, women take pride in their work now and view it as a lifestyle, rather than something they need to do until they find someone to marry and can stay at home after.
4. My personal views of my future are to graduate and get a steady career well before I even think about getting married. I am a firm believer in saving money and getting on my own two feet before diving into a marriage and inevitably having children. As of now, I can definitely see myself married in my future, but not until I feel financially stable enough to support a married lifestyle.
