No. What makes it a male/female dominant culture to me is the decision making capability.

an interesting thing about women working at home in islam is ..they could have a salary as a housewife .so for any single plate they might wash ,they could charge thier husband . although islam does urge women to study and be productive,helping family ,but they wouldnot be held responsible if they dont want to, while men are.

I do believe a woman should be able to choose what she wants for her life. And she should have the right to study and convert to another religion without her husband disallowing it or divorcing her for it. |

My ex-wife was active at the beginning of our marriage, but slowly quit going altogether over the first 2 years of our marriage.
I never gave her a hard time about it, and figured if she wanted to go she should go because she wants to, not because I'd want her to. Of course had I known she was boinking someone else while I was at church, then yeah I'd probably had more of a problem with it.

If prior to marriage, the "unbelieving" spouse-to-be has an obligation to make his or her partner aware of the situation and not make pretenses toward belief just to keep the other happy. Assuming the partner is aware and understands, some agreement ought to be reached on these things ahead of time. That doesn't mean someone won't change their mind down the road (it might seem easy to say "I don't care what the kids get taught" until you actually have some), but at least it was a known factor going in. If during the marriage, then the one making the change (either into activity, or out of it) carries the obligation of being considerate toward his or her spouse's wishes. The whole world of religious activity doesn't change immediately just because YOU don't believe any more (or vice versa, because you want to start coming back). That said, I don't know a mixed-faith couple (or active-inactive) for whom it hasn't caused considerable strife. It's a very difficult thing to be "unequally yoked" as they way. |

Depends on how devout they are. I know several mixed-faith couples who are just fine, but religion is not that big a part of their lives. I would agree that if one or both are very active / devout in their respective faith it would be extremely difficult.
