I disagree with her. I think both sides should try to please each other, but they should do it out of love and not out of duty.Jeconiaomolo wrote:In the story both Lara and Nadia have issues with their men. Nadia thinks that Lara's case is just like many unhappy stories she has been coming across every day of women trying to please their men. She is even worried why men and women relationship could not be based on satisfaction and control. Do you agree with Nadia that in relationships it is women trying to please their men or the opposite?

In reply to this question, the answer will always be YES. Every woman tries her best to win the heart of her man and its a fact.

I agree with you but I don't think all women actually do that. Although a good number usually do have nurturing spirit but there are also some isolated cases.

I agree with gali on this one, as well. Both sides should try to please each other, but out of love and not duty. Marriage is not a duty, but is done out of love that is shared between two people.gali wrote:I disagree with her.

Most definitely.But speaking as a woman- I think it's time for a role reversal.

There is nothing wrong with trying to please your partner. It is just that it should be an equal effort and not a one sided affair.

Every partner should try to please their significant other, regardless of gender. However, I don't think either side should just expect to be catered to, which is what comes to mind with this phrasing (like I said, connotations).
I believe a lot of women still have the unfortunate mindset that it's expected of them, but that some honestly enjoy it. I also believe that it should never be taken for granted, on either side.
What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.
