My Ideal Wife

There are many people to meet out there, but when I decide to settle down, they have to meet three important standards. The first standard they must meet is that they must be kind. Kindness is needed because a person must demonstrate a compassion and understanding towards people. It shows that a person was raised well and cares about the feelings of others. My significant other would need to be kind because I would want them to have my back, and to treat me respectfully. Though it makes me feel guilty, physical appearance does affect my feelings for another person. If I don't find someone handsome, it makes me feel less of an attraction to them. My future partner needs to be someone that I love for themselves, and though I could accept most

When thinking in the terms of marriage and one’s partner, the words that come to my mind are compassion, love, tenderness, trust, and devotion. It’s truly amazing to see someone who has endured such tragedy in their life, who has suffered pain, fear, and betrayal by the hands of the one person who should have shown just the opposite. Little did I realize that the woman who would be my instructor for two college courses I had taken would be such an inspiration to me.

Judy Brady's essay illustrates how women are viewed in the eyes of men and what men think wives purpose is and their duties and responsibilities are. She uses a sarcastic and humorous approach. Her purpose is to show how women are stereotyped by men that men more or less think women are their slaves and need to answer to their every need. The author uses repetition and concrete words. She uses repetition throughout her essay with the words I need a wife. She is writing a descriptive narrative essay as a second person point of view to grab the attention of her readers also to make a point to them illustrating how men think women are meant to fulfill and serve all their needs even sexually. The descriptive writing pattern is used well by the

Marriage has often been described as one of the most beautiful and powerful unions one human can form with another. It is the sacred commitment and devotion that two people share in a relationship that makes marriage so appealing since ancient times, up until today. To have and to hold, until death do us part, are the guarantees that two individuals make to one another as they pledge to become one in marriage. It is easy to assume that the guarantee of marriage directly places individuals in an everlasting state of love, affection, and support. However, over the years, marriage has lost its fairy

Marriage has been a heated controversy for the past few years because people often marry for the wrong reasons. Anyone who thinks of an ideal marriage would think of two people loving each other and sharing a personal bond or goals together. Marriage is regularly defined as the legally or formally recognized union of two lovers as partners in a personal relationship. This definition remarks there is an actual connection between two people in marriage, but do people actually consider this when committing to “love” and “support” their partners forever? As research and studies have shown, people ultimately get married for many reasons, except love. This philosophy can be easily applied to the short poem, “Marriage” by Gregory Corso. In this emotional poem, the author argues marriage is more effectively understood or known for culture and convenience rather than through the abstract considerations of love. Here, we can identify people generally decide to marry for the incorrect reasons, for instance the story of the author himself. Corso finds himself confused multiple times, wondering if he should marry to not be lonely, for tradition and for his physical and mental health. He disregards love, a relationship or a connection with his future wife. General ways of convenience like loneliness, health and economic status between cultural stereotypes and religion are usually the true reasons of why people chose to have the commitment of marriage with another person.

It is quite common that a man will choose a woman he wants to spend the rest of life with. If the marriage is good, all other relationships must evolve from it. It is important financially, physically, mentally and spiritually, for it is a relationship bound together by all of these. The home is the place where most the closeness of all relationships should begin, and the man chosen his mate wisely will, if he is wise in an economic sense, make his wife the first member of his life partnerships. The home relationships should include not only man and wife, but it should include other members of the family, if they live in the same household, particularly

When it comes to marriage and what it stands for, the short story “The Hand” written by Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette is a complete mockery. It symbolizes anything but what love and marriage should reflect. The young wife, clearly the protagonist, seemed to have found disgust with the antagonist, “the hand” of her husband. The young woman and older man with more power and experience seemed to set a stage of disaster. Marriage should be between two people bound by love with all of their mind and heart. In this case it is all open for questioning.

In paragraph one and two. The author introduces herself and provides her reasoning behind her notion why she would want a wife.

They should be basically perfect. The ideal wife must possess these qualities: talented, be submissive to whatever the husband needs, flawless, Tu no Chujo was a middle captain who also served in the office of

“Till death do us part”. When taken literally, this is a powerful, committing set of words that over two million Americans swear to each year as they tie the knot. Despite the intensity of this phrase, the American Psychological Association shares that the current divorce rate in the United States is 40-50 percent. Suffice to say, the majority of these divorcees do not end their marriages because of death, but rather due to relationship troubles that darken the once bright light that shone over their spouse. The concept of marriage has been around for centuries and through the years the roles of males and females within this sacred partnership has evolved to its state. Historical literature has suggested that, particularly for females, complete transparency, freedom, and expression whilst being a part of a marriage has not always been easy to own. The work of several writers and public figures has reflected this theme, as they looked to highlight many of the consequences brought onto women who have devoted themselves to a man. Evident from these pieces of work, strict limitations have been placed upon women in the marriage arena, which has considerably reduced the freedom that they

"He who finds a wife finds what is good." Proverbs 18:22 In the readings by Jane Austen and Charles Dickens both prospective grooms know that having a wife will be a good thing for them. Each story illustrates its own actions and feelings that lead to marriage proposals, but both are set in different tones and are for different reasons. Austen's emphasis is one of acumen, while Dickens' resonance is one of amorousness. The ending result however of both proposals although for different reasons is what benefit's the suitors.

Catherine Newman, in her essay “I Do. Not: Why I Won’t Marry” Written with a feminine edge, this author gives reasons why she won't marry. She also brings up various traditions and meanings behind the customs of marriage, while interjecting with details of her own relationship. The author uses logos and pathos throughout her writing to educate her readers on both the allure and the downsides of marriage. She establishes an informal relationship with her audience of young girls or women who are planning on getting married.

Brady is pretty much describing the dream wife in her essay. One of the reasons she wants a wife is so she can be independent: “...I would like to go back to school so that I can become economically independent,...”(Brady 229). She is wanting a wife to look after the kids while she goes back to school. Another reason she wants a wife is for her physical needs: “... I want a wife who will take care of my

Everyone has their own idea of what the “perfect mate” is. Those who are ready to take relationships seriously, think long and hard about the characteristics someone possesses before they make commitments to them. Some may be looking for a spouse that will always make them laugh, or someone who’s a good listener. While both of those can be good traits to have, I look at finding a spouse on a much deeper level. Here are the top four traits that are most important to me.

“Perfect” is about a teenage girl named Isabelle who’s very insecure about her physical appearance, and develops an eating disorder (bulimia nervosa). As you read this book, each chapter gives you a chance to be in the shoes in each character to understand their point of view. An aspect of the book I disliked was the fact that the author didn’t develop all the characters with great detail. Throughout the novel, the author never specified the time period or setting. She also failed to explain the resolution of the conflict by the end of the book. Many little pieces of events took place in the book, and it doesn’t leave the audience with a sense of closure. You keep asking, “So what happened in the end?” Even though parts of the book weren’t
