Do women want to get married now?
What is marriage in today's society? You can look at dating sites - many women write that they want to get married and start a family. Girls and women who come to the club
parties often say they are looking for serious dating.
At the same time, sociologists and psychologists confidently cite statistics that indicate that the number of divorces increased year by year, a growing number of single men and women, single-parent families, declining birth rates, more frequent extramarital relations, women are not always eager to go married men and married.
All of this allows them to declare the crisis of the family in society and to draw conclusions about what the institution of marriage is gradually dying out. However, if you follow the evolution of the marital relationship and to consider the institution of marriage in the historical aspect, the picture would be not so bleak.
Within each period of history unfolds its very special model of the family, which is influenced by the cultural development of society as a whole. If you start with a review of the patriarchal family, we will see that equality between the sexes was of a formal nature, and responsibility for the family, and with it the power conferred upon man.
The woman's parents were married, and the family lived on a "can endure - slyubitsya." For centuries, women do not cease to fight for equality with men, to change society, to change traditions. Women took on economic independence and equality, and the marriage gradually began to move from the patriarchal to democratic type.
The woman began to marry, according to their own preferences. But until recently an unmarried 25-year-old woman looked in the eyes of society at least strange, and often considered a failure.
A woman raising a child alone, humiliating called single mother. Therefore, the girl sought to determine the candidate for a husband as soon as possible and tried to jump out to marry as early as his student years.
That is why during the Soviet era was so widespread so-called student marriage. Usually she married before the distribution. From mom and older girlfriends future bride knew that if a student does not get married, you'll always be "old maid."
Today, a single woman and 30 years can afford to feel confident, not afraid of condemnation and to take the time to get married to an insecure student only to have the status of a married woman. And maybe she is now much more.
The modern woman strives to get married, but are not limited selection of their environment: work, college, friends. Among its worldwide network of Internet services, which can significantly expand the circle of communication, meet for marriage and serious relationship or friendship and love.
Numerous marriage agencies, dating services, matchmakers and dating clubs are also involved in furnishing his personal life and helps the girls to get married, and men marry. If a woman wants, she may try to marry even a representative of any country in the world.
The modern, self-confident woman who wants to get married, it is unlikely to entrust their fate is bound to become a mediator and a frequent guest party dating. There may itself make choices and show all its advantages, to tempt, to seduce and flirt!
In the new millennium, the sexual division loses rigidity, otherwise considered the relationship of man and woman in professional work, personal and family life - a woman is not always a homemaker, and a man - a warrior and earner.
Women as well as men have the freedom of choice in almost all areas, but, having the freedom to choose, and they have the freedom to termination. Today, just as easy to marry, as well as divorce.
Sometimes, a woman takes the only correct decision for her - a divorce, then to a good marriage. Perhaps this can be explained by the freedom of such a huge number of divorces and the growing number of single men and women.
This transitional period can be called a crisis of the family, but to say that the institution of marriage is dying, at least, premature.
Despite the fact that society is changing, women are still women. Like many thousands of years ago, they want to get married! Just having the freedom to choose, they are in no hurry, and it is looking for the man with whom would be really happy.
The woman still wants to get married, have children, build a strong family and to have near a close loving single person - her husband.
