Recently, a female college student talked about the role of women in marriage and love in a campus lecture, and the content caused heated discussions. She said that women should not ask too much for men to provide material support at this stage, but should accompany and grow together, and this view has been shared by some boys. However, there are also those who believe that ignoring the basic needs of women in a marriage relationship is too idealistic.

In the face of such arguments, we should not take too much sides. In fact, marriage should not be seen as a purely monetary relationship, nor should it be portrayed as just emotional companionship. A successful marriage requires the blend of material bread and spiritual harmony.
The importance of material bread lies not in the provision but in the basic security of marriage. Living in this real society, the solution of livelihood problems directly affects the family climate. Especially in the current context of social instability, a stable source of income can protect the family from external storms, which is a natural need for either party.
As the leader of the family after marriage, women need a stable backing to support the role of the family. Of course, material things shouldn't be the whole story of marriage. Heart-to-heart fit is crucial.
What is truly worth sharing in a marriage is not only financial wealth, but also mutual understanding, support and companionship. Only by agreeing on values and life philosophies, and being considerate of each other in the details of life, can the two stay together for a long time in marriage. The ideal marriage should be a perfect combination of material comfort and spiritual companionship.
Of course, the reality is not as good as it could be. People at different stages have different expectations for marriage. Young people have just entered the society, and the period of self-exploration and ideals continues, and the idealistic tendency is naturally stronger.
However, with the accumulation of life experience, we will gradually understand that no matter how strong the physical attraction or soul compatibility of the other person is, if the basic conditions cannot provide each other with enough food and content, it will always be difficult to establish a long-term relationship.
Therefore, the most important thing for different perspectives is to understand and be tolerant. It is not appropriate for us to give a completely correct answer here. Everyone's needs and stages are different.
But we can say with certainty that an idealized and realistic concept of marriage can only lead to true happiness when it is combined with material support and spiritual harmony.
This is not to require either party to provide all, but rather to achieve full and reciprocal inclusion through constant communication and adaptation throughout the relationship.
Only in this way can marriage become a free and autonomous union of two individuals, rather than a sacrifice of one or the other. We should abandon bias, be open-minded and understand different positions, and work together to seek a balanced development of the ideal marriage.
