Let's put it out there, without mincing words or laying it on thick with psychology - women want husbands, but refuse to act like wives.
Men, young men in particular, are willing to bend their backs and be husbands, but there aren't enough women who are "wifely" enough. The effort is not rewarded, benefits ever so smaller. Young boys are educated to tiptoe around girls, while the girls are told that they are most welcome to everything and that there are no responsibilities on them.
When your gonads finally start demanding you use them for their biological purpose, you are stuck in a society that culled your instincts that even a generation ago were still about and seen as normal. People will still get married and there still be divorces, but the problems is that the whole male-female relationship spectrum has been tainted and collapsed under the rot of modern cultural distortions. If our parents had no healthy relationships, how can we expect to give our children an example of it?
We all know and understand what the "husband" should be, its an archetype - the breadwinner, reliable man that lives with his wife and children he fathered with her. That has not changed, even today we still see that as primary aspect of a male spouse.
But do we know what a "wife" should be anymore? Where do we have winning examples or archetypes that have not been destroyed?
The supportive and industrious woman and mother of one's children, a role that existed since the dawn of time, was replaced by a quickly-bored post-card housewife of the 50s which Holla Forums obsesses over, which inevitably gave us modern day.
We must look to the archetypes to get to the essence of what we want. We still see men as workers, creators and warriors, we must look to women who are caring, supportive and more importantly willing to be active and work - not only as a housewives and child rearers, but as a community person, part-time employee, the volunteer.
Women must be active to give both to the community and to be good examples to their children, so that do not idle and do not fall into the trap of boredom that ruins everything. They must actively support the household so that they fulfill themselves in the role of a wife.
Let us define clearly what we want from women - not girlfriends and sexual toys, but actual life partners and wives that lift their share of duties in a family. After all, you wouldn't give your children to be looked after by a lazy moron, so why should you marry one?
