Do you believe that a traditional dynamic in a relationship provides more happiness for both the man and woman in a relationship?

[HawkPerception]

Yes

No

the question you're asking has not been specifically researched. but what can be said about marital satisfaction is the following:

• Age: Higher age correlates negatively with marital satisfaction. Note over ones individual life, marital satisfaction (as well as overall life satisfaction) has a U-shape. it starts out good, gets bad during the late 30s, early 40s and then rises again after but not to the levels of younger years.
• Religiosity: religiosity is positively associated with marital satisfaction tho this effect most likely goes back to expectations set by that world view and not so much on the fact that this world view is traditional.
• Economic status high economic status correlates with positive marriage satisfaction... surprise surprise cause both is true for overall life satisfaction.
• Number of children people who have children are usually less satisfied with their marriage (and their life), which is attributed to the economical drawbacks of having children, not to the act of having children itself. having children itself corrected for then financial impact actually has a positive effect. that is however only true for the first child. the second child doesn't have the positive effect so the negative financial effect will hit even harder (which is why i think people don't have children anymore).

Important Notes:

1. The current demography will skew any sort of cross sectional study trying to depict developments over the years because nowadays you have fewer younger people vs let's say 20 years go. so you would have to use longitudal studies which are extremely complex for that type of research.

2. Note that despite "duration" of marriage being measured, it was not a significant predictor of marital satisfaction in the scientific litterature. so that would be a big argument against your theory.

3. Keep in mind: in all the underlying data, you will find MASSIVE covariance with overall life satisfaction for every individual variable.

I believe a successful relationship leads to a more happier more fulfilling relationship.

Whether masculine, feminine, queer, lesbian, male, female, bi, asexual, etc. You can find happiness with a successful meaningful & lovable relationship. Tradition / male + female doesn’t matter.

Depends on the couple. It wouldn’t work for me because I’m going to be dominant for the most part. So either we’re both dominant or he’s submissive (outside of the bedroom) while I’m dominant. Now in the bedroom, it’s more traditional as I will be more submissive while the guy can be more dominant. But it certainly won’t be traditional/“vanilla”. Other than that, yea I want us both working, both providing for eachother and out future family, both protecting one another and our future family. I want us sharing the chores of cooking and cleaning. And he shouldn’t always have to make the first move with everything. I want us to take turns being the initiator especially when it comes to wanting to get sexual. And so on

[kylee2437]

Up to a certain degree. I think there’s a good in between for couples to practice, however times have changed and we need two incomes to live, meanwhile women don’t want to be controlled in relationships anymore. I think women being nurturing, meanwhile men should be protective should definitely be practiced still

[TheRealPepperPotts]

I can't answer this. I'll be misunderstood.

[provokeesmokee]

No.

But many of what makes healthy trad dynamics work for any sort of relationship:

• Honesty
• Transparency
• Communication
• Respect
• Appreciation

Whether you're a conman and his tradwife, or the gayest fucking queers, do those things and you have the foundation of a healthy and positive relationship.

[imtiaz45]

Happiness in a relationship depends on the preferences and values of the individuals involved rather than adhering strictly to traditional or non-traditional dynamics. Some couples may find fulfillment in traditional roles, while others thrive in more egalitarian or non-traditional arrangements. The key is mutual respect, understanding, and open communication to ensure both partners' needs and desires are met. A relationship dynamic that aligns with both partners' beliefs and lifestyles is more likely to provide happiness and satisfaction. Ultimately, the best dynamic is one that fosters mutual support, love, and fulfillment.

No not inherently. This honestly comes down to individuality. Some PEOPLE may like traditional relationships while others don't.

What makes a couple happy is Trust it is the foundation of all relationships. If you trust someone then you can be honest, open and communicative. Though you can't gain trust if you are not honest.

[hahahmm]

Sure. But the know it alls running society decided it's a bad thing and have made every effort to destroy a lot of the old ways. Women will be the ones who suffer more from the new system.

[exitseven]

Yes, thousands of years of evolution has gave each gender specific roles. Pretending that this never happened is not going to work.

[RavVid]

Women don't like working as much as men do. That's from a woman who just clocked 30 and was wanting to retire to being a housewife as her next career ambition.

[Paul09]

Not affordable to do so anymore. Unless you are rich.

[dustybiker2]

No. It's obvious looking back that was designed, by flaw, to make and keep men happy.

[_Troian_]

Yeah it does ofcourse.. always have to keep it traditional.

[White_Swan_]

No. Couples in traditional relationships are unhappy according to my observations. Traditional relationships are not in accordance with the nature of both men and women.

[sirderpsalot123]

Depends on the couple

[JonCobretti]

Yep of course

[Jason2469]

This is why American men don't Mary American woman

Less ambigity.
