This weeks readings really make you think about how things use to be and how thing are in different cultures around the world. To think that people once married mostly for financial stability, not because they were in love with each other. It is somewhat like arranged marriage, some cultures embrace the arranged marriages. Many people have some form of an arranged marriage and do not even realize it. Couples are set up together all the time friends setting up friends, blind dates seem to happen a lot more especially now since there online dating services everywhere. Times have definitely changed, most people I know get married for love not any other reasons. I do find it funny how things have changed, men are not the strong financial figure today like they were 70 years ago. I know a couple married couples that have role reversed relationships. They both have husbands that do not work while they work and provide all of the financial stability in the household. Stay at home dad’s are becoming more common, especially since more women are becoming more independent and more successful in their careers. Women discovering themselves and figuring out they do not have to depend on a man to take care of them has a strong influence in many cultures today. I think the days of men being more superior then women are coming to an end especially once more women figure out that they are equal to men. Equality between men and women is very close to actually happening, strong women just need to stick together.
