A family to a woman
What's a family to a woman? It is used to think that a highest purpose of any woman's life is a good husband, a happy family, the children. At least, there is nothing wrong in this scheme as this tradition has the roots. In a modern society the women are opposite as for their roles in a life. Some modern women used to believe that a family is not the first aim of theirs. There are many other spheres they would like to experience, try, achieve, fight, and conquer. These spheres were not available to the women some years ago, now the women used to compensate the previous years of "obedience and compromising". That is why they try to start a family life as late as it is possible (at least 30 years old woman is still a bride) or not to start it at all! The social circumstances do not assist starting a family as well. Till the age of 30 a woman tries to get a stable material status or a good job (education) to devote her time to the husband search later.
But still there are some women who are dreaming about having a family from the very young age. My sister, for example, is eager to get married since 15 years old. I doubt that she understands what a real family is, what the duties and opportunities are.
A married woman has her vision of a happy life, romantic or practical, adventurous or traditional, but in many cases it differs from a man's point of view, because different people have different thoughts and opinions. But at the same time it is very important to be able to achieve a compromise in the relations in order to make them work out.
