A monogamous marriage can incorporate religion through its ceremonial aspects or can even be based on the foundation of beliefs or customs (as seen on the left). A monogamous marriage can also occur via freedom of choice and having the power and control to choose your partner (as seen on the right). ]]> 2021-06-10 19:34:17 UTC https://padlet.com/youngka8/sdzrm2t56s9imgh2/wish/1599470697 youngka8 https://padlet.com/youngka8/sdzrm2t56s9imgh2/wish/1599475867 A common-law union takes place when two people decide to live together, are not married, but commit to one another and have been together for more than a year. Common-law has become more frequent, in 2011 it accounted for almost 20% of Canadian families. This can suggest that you do not need marriage to be happy, and that couples living together in harmony has become normalized and accepted.]]> 2021-06-10 19:37:01 UTC https://padlet.com/youngka8/sdzrm2t56s9imgh2/wish/1599475867 youngka8 https://padlet.com/youngka8/sdzrm2t56s9imgh2/wish/1599479892 2021-06-10 19:39:21 UTC https://padlet.com/youngka8/sdzrm2t56s9imgh2/wish/1599479892 youngka8 https://padlet.com/youngka8/sdzrm2t56s9imgh2/wish/1599481249 The images above indicate the legalization of gay marriage (same-sex) becoming legal in Canada during 2005. This was a major step for the LGBTQ+ community as couples who had been together could now commit to one another as a heterosexual couple would through marrying and celebrate their love without it being viewed as "criminal" or "illegal". ]]> 2021-06-10 19:40:03 UTC https://padlet.com/youngka8/sdzrm2t56s9imgh2/wish/1599481249 youngka8 https://padlet.com/youngka8/sdzrm2t56s9imgh2/wish/1599486509 2021-06-10 19:43:01 UTC https://padlet.com/youngka8/sdzrm2t56s9imgh2/wish/1599486509 youngka8 https://padlet.com/youngka8/sdzrm2t56s9imgh2/wish/1599491114 Both polygamy (marriage to many spouses) and polyamory (open relationships or a relationship with more than one partner) are something that have gained traction all over the world, but are not as widely accepted in Canada as some other places. Canada still, as of 2020, has not legalized polygamy marriages, however polyamory relationships are legal.]]> 2021-06-10 19:45:37 UTC https://padlet.com/youngka8/sdzrm2t56s9imgh2/wish/1599491114 youngka8 https://padlet.com/youngka8/sdzrm2t56s9imgh2/wish/1599494018 Lone-parent families can be a result of divorce, seperation, or death. In 2006, it was shown that there were four times as many female lone-parents as male lone-parents. Male-lone parents are growing at a more rapid pace however, which demonstrates acceptance of birth outside of marriage as well as legislation changes. ]]> 2021-06-10 19:47:18 UTC https://padlet.com/youngka8/sdzrm2t56s9imgh2/wish/1599494018 youngka8 https://padlet.com/youngka8/sdzrm2t56s9imgh2/wish/1599504460 2021-06-10 19:53:05 UTC https://padlet.com/youngka8/sdzrm2t56s9imgh2/wish/1599504460 youngka8 https://padlet.com/youngka8/sdzrm2t56s9imgh2/wish/1599507705 2021-06-10 19:55:01 UTC https://padlet.com/youngka8/sdzrm2t56s9imgh2/wish/1599507705 youngka8 https://padlet.com/youngka8/sdzrm2t56s9imgh2/wish/1599509991 Cherif Ghobrial.
