Relationship changes in the Indian society in 21st century

In today's society somewhere every couple feels lost and dissatisfied with their partner, so I gave a deep thought on what exactly has changed in the present times.

I feel today it's the women that has evolved into this new avatar. Thirty years back when I was a school going kid, so were the girls but as an individual nobody knew that it will create such a massive impact on the Indian society.

Back in our school days, most of the mothers were home makers and only fathers were working, though there were adjustments but there was a clear demarcation of responsibility among the couples.

Now when this generation grew up and it became a common practice for both the genders to do job and enjoy the freedom of outside world equally the rigidity has increased.

So now as both the partners are working and have their priorities set. There is very less adjustment possible in these rules as  these priorities are not just governed by the individuals rather by the firms for which the people are working.

Also the household division of work has changed and women have started expecting men to take more responsibility from grocery shopping to sharing kitchen chores.

Men being new to this change have been constantly struggling as it has never been their forte to handle household chores.

However, for women, who were learning to prepare for job in different profiles at different firms from school to college to grad school , handling this new change is easier in comparison to their male partners.

In my opinion what men have to understand is to keep in par with today's advancement, we do have to learn a lot of household responsibilities too, so in future we can carry out both, our work and household responsibilities with ease. This will not only give men an edge but also sort out lot of struggles which were non existing in the previous generations.

Also I would like to mention that though women have an edge in this generation but they should understand this fact from men's perspective, men are just novice in handling all the new responsibilities and women should be patient for this change.

Men have always been in the driver seat and are use to the affection, pampering and motivation from their better half which has also changed due to the busy life and the above social changes. 

Women should also let this change happen gradually for their partner and till the time their partners are not prepared psychologically and emotionally, they should not to crib and not be very critical about their partners.

Another important thing that women should keep in mind is that though they have earned their freedom with job but they can't completely give up on household chores. In household chores they have to keep doing whatever they can, to the best of their ability.

So it's best for both the sexes to have a proper understanding of this situation, so proper adjustments can be made and lot of power play can be avoided for a better and harmonious life.
