Below is a good question for those who value marriages, or close personal relationships. I will eventually reveal my own reply to the question, if the question arouses sufficient interest among the classmates and many friends care to take a shot at it.
QUESTION
In a sound (correct) marriage (or relatıonshıp), what is the percentage of responsibility each partner should be willing and capable of taking on? (a simple percentage citing reply will not be accepted. A concise explanation of the logic behind your reply should be included)
Hint: Use of Quantum Physics principles recommended to reach the correct answer.

What is a "correct" relationship or marriage?????
Surely that is different for everyone!!!

Whatever is "sound" and "correct" marriage or relationship for you ....
Skip question, if you dont think there can be any sound (correct) marriages or relationships.

I think there can......
But they generally involve more than two people

Wel I don't know ANYTHING about Quantum Physics (i don't even know what it is), but shouldn't in a healthy marriage both partners be WILLING to take 100% responsibility? Because the only way they are actually WILLING to give all they have and take full responsibility for it all, is because they know they won't have to give this anyway, because they know their partner loves them just as much.
As for the capable part, I think every person should take just as much responsibility as he/she is able to, when it stays in balance. (that doesn't necessarily mean 50-50 ).
When I look at Kadir and me, I can see that in behaviour he's usually more mature and emotionally stronger than I am. Wouldn't it for us be likely to have a division of 60-40? I'd say 70-30 is more likely But that sounds so unfair And not 'sound' (:-S) anymore.
BUt what is Quantum Physics? And how come the word 'sound' is used for 'correct'? Actually these two boggle me more than the question itself

I believe marriage is a game of two halves (whilst the football is on!) with neither half being equal. It all depends on what your particular skill is. My husband does the garden and I look after the house. I look after the bills and money and I disciplined the children most of the time. He worked and I used to stay at home and care for the children. When it came to holidays we chose together. We have our own space, I like a lively night out and he doesn't so much. We give each other respect for our individual beliefs and occasionally break into a spectacular discussion. We have our own views and allow each other those opinions.
As for percentage of responsibility we take 100% responsibility for what we are best at and 50% when we share. But I would say this has varied throughout our marriage as we got to know each other better.
It must be a reasonably good formula as we will have been married for 30 years in October.
Sorry I dont know too much about quantum physics either!

I agree with Deli Kizin and libralady. It depends on the circumstances, are both partners working? Who is the main bread-winner? Are there any children and how old are they?
My wife is 10 years younger than me and still works part time and since I retired over 2 years ago I have taken over more of the daily chores, in fact I am regarded as a bit of a nuisance around the house these days.Quantum Physics was not my strongest subject either :-S
Marriage is mostly give and take he gives and she takes ...Sorry girls I am only joking ...honestly

Marriage is very much give and take and depending on who has most energy at the required moment gives most!! Perhaps the energy bit is the physics of marriage? or even the physical of marriage

Now, now, libra - we'll have none of that smut around here
