Thoughts on Relationships

[goddessfarmer]

Equality is not about the money, not is it about who does which housework. Equality is a state of mind. It is a state of mind that is less dependant on what you say or how you treat me, and more dependant on how I feel and think about myself. In relationship, equality springs from the heart of each individual into their thoughts, words and deeds. It has never been, nor will it ever be a state that can be dictated or analyzed by anyone external to that relationship. Just as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so Equality is to the partners in a relationship. That is not to say that every relationship has equality, many don’t. But that no individual external to the relationship can tell for certain about the equality within.

Equality? hm. Yeah, it has more to do with attitude and what you each bring to it- like the story of how many native american societies had "men's work" and "women's work" very sharply delineated, but equal in importance and respect... valuing and respecting each other is the main thing, or each feeling that they are valued and respected.
