Daily life of women

Introduction

The majority of women in ancient China lived oppressed lives. Even women of the nobility and the imperial family did not escape the oppression, though life was possibly slightly easier for them than for the large population of poor women. Women were considered inferior to men and from the moment of birth most women were treated as inferiors.

Family life

Women in ancient China were considered inferior to men. This meant that their whole lives were spent being subservient to the men in their families. Generations of one family often lived in the same house together and older people were greatly respected. A grandmother became important if she outlived her husband as she would then be the oldest member of the household and would be afforded the most respect. Confucius taught that women's roles were to look after the men in their families. He believed that it was not acceptable for a woman to have her own ambitions and that she should have barely any life outside her own home. He did, however, teach that a woman's role as mother and mother-in-law should be respected. He taught that a 'woman's greatest duty is to have a son'.

Learning to Become a Couple

One of the hardest adjustments couples must make when they marry is to start thinking of themselves as "we" instead of "I." Before marriage, a date simply means two people agreeing to commit to one another for the duration of the date. No matter how good or bad the date goes, there's always an end in sight. If the date is a success and the couple continues to see each other, their commitment may grow to be where they date each other exclusively, or maybe even move in together.

But when couples marry, it's naïve to assume their commitment levels are automatically going to be totally in synch. For example, many engaged or newly married couples sometimes find it difficult to decide exactly how much time they should be together versus how much they should spend apart with friends. "This can be very difficult for couples to talk about and often causes disagreements even prior to marriage," says Melbourne-based marriage counselor Julia Nasser. "An engaged or newly married man, for instance, may suddenly feel the need to spend time apart from his bride (even though he loves her dearly) just so he still feels like 'his own person.' He may even encourage his bride to schedule more time with her friends so that he has time to see his own. "
