Dear Leonardo Dicaprio (or my friend Tyler),
Throughout our relationship as a couple, I expect us to have a great connection and have mutual respect for each other. Before we marry, I would prefer us both to be graduated from college and have our career plans set out for us. Long-term cohabiting and LAT relationships, in my opinion, should not be an option for anyone, especially for me. I believe that if you love someone enough you should commit to them and if you have no future plans to do so then the relationship is meaningless. I wish to be married around the age of twenty-four which would be a few years after I graduate from college. A combination of a companionate marriage and an individualized marriage seems to be a great duo because …show more content…
However, I would still like to be able to have time to raise our child so they are not solely raised in daycare. I assume that you will be working in the paid labor force as an actor (or sociologist) and provide for the family as much as we both deem reasonable. Having time to raise our child equally is important to me unlike the 1950s breadwinner homemaker family style where the income relied solely on the husband and the father lacked a relationship with his children. Maybe when we are financially stable enough (i.e. drowning in money) I will be able to cut down on hours and stay home with our child/children or the other way around. During the day if we are working and unable to stay home with our children I would prefer for someone in the family to take care of them or potentially hire a nanny if we find the right one. I would not want to put our children in daycare for hours on end to be raised by childcare workers. During nighttime and the weekend, I hope that both of us will have those hours off so we can have family time and raise our children together.
The division of household chores and routines should be shared semi-equally. The reason I say semi-equally is because I enjoy cooking and may tend to do that more often than not and I like things cleaned my way. Basically I would prefer to do most of the household tasks because I am particular about the way I do things,
