About this Quote

This quote by Agnes Macphail highlights the fact that females frequently have to make more sacrifices than males when becoming part of a marital relationship. Ladies are frequently anticipated to transform their location of living, their method of job, as well as also their profession entirely upon marital relationship. This is a stark comparison to men, who are not anticipated to make such drastic changes. This quote offers to emphasize the unequal assumptions put on females in marital relationship, and also the reality that they are anticipated to make even more sacrifices than men. It is a pointer that ladies are typically expected to put their very own requirements and also wishes aside in order to suit their companion's. This quote serves to highlight the inequality that still exists in many marital relationships today, as well as the need for higher acknowledgment of the sacrifices ladies make in order to make a marriage work.
