The Reason: To Prove Their Independence

The glow of independence for a woman has never been brighter than it is today. Autonomy, self-sufficiency and emancipation are coveted characteristics of women of our day. Women now are being taught to be true to themselves, to do their own thing and not be co-dependent with any man. The goal has merit. This concept continues to have mass appeal to a vast majority of females.

As the percentage of married couples diminishes, the number of independent women increases. The cry of the women’s movement for control over their lives has brought a chilling effect upon the future of marriage. The result of this uprising is increased tension to an already strained marriage knot. When a truce will arrive is unpredictable, but hopefully it will appear on the horizon.

Women seeking self-confidence through independence will choose a mate giving a clear path to this endeavor. She will carefully screen a mate to make certain disentanglement is a proof of abiding affection. Finding this mate is a challenge since most men will adhere to this new request only partially and in theory.

The story of Peggy Sue is what happens when this reality hits home to a new husband. Giving the woman plenty of room for her independence to blossom is essential for a couple's personal growth. Today's women want to be an asset to their husband in every way. Allowing them to demonstrate confidence is essential to good mental health and the future of long-term marriage. Autonomy is now a vital ingredient to the female's well-being.
