“Marriage is the fundamental, cross-cultural institution for bridging the male-female divide so that children have loving, committed mothers and fathers.” She explains that this is absolutely necessary for a child to be happy, and grow up in a normal environment. It is the union of man and woman that creates social harmony and economic stability in a rocky society. “Marriage is our attempt to reconcile and harmonize the erotic, social, sexual, and financial needs of men and women with the needs of their partner and their children.” It is extremely important to keep the tradition of our idea of marriage for the children, because a household with one parent, two dads or two moms, is not what children deserve. It is the responsibility
As I stated earlier Cherlin broke marriage down in three types, the first that he spoke of was the companionate marriage. This type of marriage is based on the companionship, friendship and love shared between couples. He spoke of the pride couples took in their rolls in the family, dad as the breadwinner and mom as the homemaker and caregiver to her children and husband. As transitions continued, companionate marriage became more of an ideal than a norm. The roles of husbands and wives became more open to negotiation, and a more individualistic idea on the benefits of marriage took shape.
Comparing two poems on Siblings. Brother by Andrew Forster and Sister Maude by Christina Georgian Rossetti. The two poems I am comparing are Brothers and Sister Maude. Both are about siblings, except Andrew Forster’s poem is about how he left his younger brother on his own when they were going into the town as children, and how this has affected their relationship later own in life. Sister Maude is about bitter sister rivalry and how ‘Sister Maude’ tells on her sister about her lover.
Montag is her family, but she doesn't consider him as much as a family compaired to the parlor walls. Another example that Mildred should start thinking for herself is she pulled the alarm on her own husband, Montag. Montag did something against the law and Mildred didn't want to get into trouble so as a result of it, "she pulled the alarm" (Bradbury 115). She lost her husband because she listened to the
However, sometimes wives become stifled by their husband’s controlling hand. A husband’s masculinity and commanding nature can have the tendency of taking over a marriage. The couple’s entire relationship can appear to be perfect to an outsider, when in reality the husband is the force controlling their lives. There are two couples this year who I felt exhibited the characteristics of having relationships dominated by the male figure. Rose and Troy Maxson from the play Fences by August Wilson and Tom and Daisy Buchanan from The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald each have extraordinarily dynamic marital ties.
Doing the Iroquois kinship I learned a lot about them that I didn’t know. When it comes to kinship the women in the Iroquois determine the kinship. When they get married the groom moves into the brides longhouse. The kids they have become part of her family or clan as they call it. Louis Morgan wrote a book called Systems of Consanguinity and Affinity of the Human Family.

The marriage was representative of the relationship between the two families chosen. The marital contract was between the father of the bride and the groom, while the new bride’s dowry was given to the groom’s father’s brother. This helped insure the fact that if the groom were to ever pass, it would be the brother’s duty to find the widow another husband. Athenian women were objectified. They were sold off into marriage; they had no say in who they married.

The men decided whether the marriage happened or not. The amount of the dowry the husband pays is decided by the husband and the father of the bride. However, if the husband changed his mind about the marriage during the honeymoon period, which is the period when the bride remained at her father’s house after the marriage contract was signed, the dowry would be returned to the bride’s father. Also, during this period, the bride’s father may choose to opt his daughter out of the marriage which in turn, will lead to him getting his dowry back. This predicament is stated in Laws 159, 163, and 164 in The Code of Hammurabi.
