EQUALITY MARRIAGE MANIFESTO

Manifesto for equality in marriage (advertised by a popular matrimonials service)
  1. Personal preferences including those related to dress,food and hobbies will be respected with no pressure from in-laws or relatives.
  2. The couple would share the responsibility of caring for each other's parents--while each would remain the primary caregiver for their own parents.
  3. Both partners have an equal rightto pursue--or not pursue--a career and play the role of primary breadwinner.
  4. If both choose to work,the responsibility of  child rearing and home management will be shared equally.
  5. Together,the couple will resolve to overcome attempts by extended family to interfere in their key life choices.
  6. The bride does not leave her home to merge seamlessly or fit into her in-laws scheme of things:she now has another home that she might choose to call her own in addittion to the home she comes from.
Would like to hear opinions from all quarters.please share your viewpoint.
