5 Things a Modern Woman Should Consider to Get Married and Have Children

In the past, girls were taught a simple rule: don’t come home pregnant, and later – where are the grandchildren? Today, expectations for women have become much more complex.

In the past, girls were taught a simple rule: don’t come home pregnant, and later – where are the grandchildren? Today, expectations for women have become much more complex. You’re not just expected to be a good wife and mother, but also to learn how to survive in a world where expectations and reality often don’t align. Let’s break down what life demands from us today.

Education: the foundation of stability

In the past, parents invested in the education of sons, leaving daughters behind. But today, things have changed: women are surpassing men in education levels. Among those born in the 1980s, 44% of women have a university degree, compared to only 31% of men. This is not just a sign of ambition but also a tool for protection.
An educated woman is no longer at the mercy of her partner’s whims: she can provide for herself and her children. This gives her more freedom to choose a husband, rather than "listening to family advice."

Financial Cushion: the path to independence

A modern woman should not only save for vacations or a dream dress but also plan for maternity leave. It’s not just about money – it’s capital that provides security.
Women are often criticized for "living off their husbands." But no one talks about how often men overlook their wives’ financial struggles. That’s why savings are essential: not just for diapers but to avoid depending on someone who might one day decide to cut back on essentials.

Honest Relationships: from manipulation to partnership

Every woman is taught to set boundaries and choose a partner thoughtfully. We know how to spot toxic people, avoid being deceived, and build relationships based on trust.
Interestingly, men aren’t taught the same. If women must be ready to "take responsibility," men often continue to live by the mantra "just find a normal woman." How about being a good husband yourself?

Plan "B": always ready

“The husband leaves” – whether for another woman, for cigarettes, or to the next world – is a scenario every woman should keep in mind. She needs to be prepared for the worst: managing finances, supporting the family, and raising the children alone.
It’s strange that men aren’t taught the same. Why doesn’t anyone tell boys that their wife might leave, fall ill, or pass away, and they’ll have to take full responsibility for the children?

Resilience: staying strong no matter what

If a man can relax and rely on his partner, a woman isn’t allowed to do so. She must think about her health, her children’s future, and her own retirement. And she has to keep going, even when her energy is depleted.
Perhaps that’s why women live longer. We’re not even granted the right to be tired, let alone make mistakes.
