The Problem of Power

Type/paste your first paragraph here
Marital power has a great deal with who makes more money in the relationship. I agree with some of the points that were made. The person who makes more in the relationship usually has the most power in the relationship overall. Like who decides certain decisions is usually the male because usually he makes more money.

Forces that they discussed are for a male dominated society about how males earn more. It also talks about how because women do more domestic work they do not have the power in the relationship, but I think that doing the domestic work gives her more power. She decides when dinner is, what happens at what time and certain household decisions.
Women play an important role in their families life, though it is not money based it is the structure that the family needs to survive. If I think back to who was raising me and had the most impact on my life it would be my mom. Who do people thank when they give speeches, their mom? It does not matter who makes more money in the family but who makes the impact on the person’s life, they have the power. When I look at who makes the decisions in my family, it is always my mom who has the final say even though my dad makes more money. I do not think that it is the person who makes more money has power but rather who makes the bigger impact on the family.
It really has nothing to do with who makes more money but rather who has the bigger impact has the most power. The points that were made I disagreed with but I do agree with the point that was made about how men marry in exchange for what the other person offers. Men look for a mate who will do the domestic household work and women look for a mate who will financially support them. I also agree with the point about in most custody cases the mother gets full custody of the children, the system knows who is better at raising a child, and that is why most mothers stay home and raise the kids while the fathers go and work. I do not look at my relationships as investments when looking for someone to marry or someone who will support me while I raise my kids.
