Can Love Relationships Ever Return to What They Used to Be?

People reminisce about the good old days.  When it comes to relationships, many women believe men were men, back in the day.  They were manly and rugged.  At the same time, men believe women were more loving, affectionate and lady-like. 

Yet, women have demanded men adjust to the 21st Century woman.  That means she is tough, independent, has her own money and job.  And she makes it clear that she does not need a man for a happy and successful life.  Furthermore, because she is self sufficient, she does not have to play the role of the 1950s woman.  In fact, today’s woman looks down on the women of the 50s.  Those were the days of subservient women who catered to a man’s every need. 

At the same time, this independent woman wants the war hero who returned from WWII and the Korean War.  Those were the men who took a stand for what was good, put their lives on the line and defeated evil.  When they returned home, they put the same care into their family.  As a result, a woman felt assured she and her family would be safe.  On top of that, she did not have to work.  She and her friends had the luxury of being stay at home mothers as their men went into the workforce to bring home the bacon. 

That feeling of safety allowed her to be a loving and affectionate wife and mother.  While being a mother has demands, her job could be done from the comfort of home.  If she was ambitious, she attended social events with other women.  Together they would network and provide behind the scene support for their hard working husbands.  They would make connections for their husbands to acquire new clients, investors or new jobs by befriending women who were married to other successful men.
