The only real problem I have with what's been posted so far is this:

"Simply stated, the man should provide the necessities. This means food, clothing, and a shelter, plus a few comforts and conveniences.... Through all generations of time it has been recognized that when a man marries, his wife and children are entitled to his financial support. Failure to meet this obligation has been just cause for divorce, and even after the marriage separation, a man is still under financial obligation. Financial support and, along with this, fidelity have always been the two main entitlements for a woman in marriage. But whether these laws remain in force or not, the moral and sacred obligation is just as binding, the need just as great."

There is no such thing as a "just cause for divorce", as God hates divorce.

Also, when it comes to children being entitled to financial support, I think it should be noted that whatever support the children are entitled to is not permanent. Once they reach adulthood, the father certainly is not obliged to provide for them any longer, although he could.

One would have to consider that this was written by a Mormon, so not EVERYTHING in there is in the Catholic context, including that statement.

Is it unreasonable for me to expect in a future wife that she:

-primarily dresses in skirts/dresses

-primarily does the cooking/cleaning

-Emphasizes the faith to our children

-Does the grocery shopping

-Has a dinner prepared at least 5 nights a week

-Is the "heart of the home" while still being a firm disciplinarian when needed

Im asking this because I shared these desires with family/friends who are not traditional catholics and they said my expectations are unrealistic and I need to get with the times, otherwise I will be miserable forever. Kind of like the posts regarding the recent fisheaters thread. I think the term used was "candyland."

You will be MISERABLE FOREVER, if you don't stick to these expectations.

Good luck finding that one needle in a very large stack of hay..

I have yet to encounter any woman who wears skirts/dresses on a regular basis. It seems as though the only ones that do are the pagan African women and the Mohammedans that you would see on the BBC every day. The main problem is that these women aren't Catholic and live on the other side of the globe..
