Mergering two companies

I found that Indonesians are quite… ‘interesting’ in their perceptions of marriage.
The females, although they are working, they feel that their money is theirs and had no obligation to support the family’s financials. As my friend would say “if I want something more, or indulge myself in luxury, then I have to work and earn my own. But no way I’m going to put my money (willingly) into the family’s finance… it’s my husband’s obligation to support me and the children”
I think that kind of thinking is now, out-of-date. It’s a different world now, it’s a far more expensive life. To give the best education money can buy, needs 2 sources of incomes. I think all of us can be less selfish and stop thinking of what we’ve sacrificed, but what we’ve comitted to.
Of course, the idea is too far fetch by many, even by men. I believe it has got to do with their manhood; their ability to provide for their family. And if a woman helps them, it would make them less manly.
It’s a shame, I believe, when you have a family, you should stop thinking “what’s in it for me”, and start thinking “how I can be part of this family’s success”.
Think about your kids, their future and you commitments.
