From the past century this conception has changed. Normally people are married by love and not by money. They start a family and live happily ever after. At least this would be the best. But let’s not forget about divorce.

In former times divorce was completely unacceptable. But nowadays? Well, sadly it’s getting normal. According to Michigan Bar Journal if one-half of all marriages will divorce, then statistically if not culturally, divorce is normal. People get married more easily, because they think that if it turns out that it wasn’t the right choice, they can simply divorce. Maybe it’s not a big deal for the couple, but if they share a child, divorce certainly leaves a huge wound on the kid’s soul and it determines his/ her whole life.

Back int the day husbands had the role to maintain their families. Today, it’s a different story. Many more women are now educated, and entering the workforce and so can take care of their needs with or without a man. In many instances, women even find themselves earning even more than their husbands.

As a result, the role of marriage had changed during the centuries. In the 21^stcentury, it’s more like a root of starting a family than a lifelong relationship.
