This article that i have attached almost identical to the topic we had talked about in this weeks discussion. The idea of Traditional and Modern Marriage are deeply discussed and compared. The article talked about how traditional marriage is fading as the style of marriage. Traditional marriage was the idea that our grandparents followed to a "T". The man was the provider while the woman was the home keeper. The two separate roles were expected years ago. The article talks about how today's modern marriage, including same-sex marriage and opposite sex marriage, still include partners will shared roles. The roles in today's society are not separated between a couple but shared. Both partners are sharing the role of supporting and providing for a family as well as helping out around the house.
The article also talked about how the modern world has also change the idea of the role in the house. With the invention of the microwave, washing machines, dish washers, etc. has lowered the responsibilities around the home. Microwave dinners can be purchased at the store and time is saved with automatic washers. So the role to fill is not as large as in traditional times. Also with the increase in women's education and opportunity for employment has helped women grow into the economic world.
Modern marriage has grown to be accepted by the modern world and the idea of sharing roles within a household has grown to be expected. This article does a great job to explain traditional and modern marriage and how society has changed over time to accept modern marriage.
