As long as I have known the practice of marriage, I have also known the traditional roles associated with marriage. I grew up with the belief that women are generally the ones who are domesticated, who stay at home to raise their children and take care of the house. While men were known as the providers, they went to work most of the day to care for the family. This is the type of dynamic I grew up with for most of my life. Everything changed once I became an adult and my father could no longer do his job. My mother returned to school and eventually found a full-time job. My father took care of most of his household responsibilities and anything that needed to be done around the house. Seeing a wedding swing a hundred and eight degrees from traditional to modern has definitely changed my perspective on the subject. I don't believe that Who can say what is right and wrong for a person's marriage? Just because things have been this way for a while is not a good enough excuse to live your life in a way that doesn't bring you happiness. This belief that men and women must fit this traditional mold is absurd. Personalities are made up of a lot of complicated things. To say that people should do certain things based on their gender is to attempt to simplify the beautiful complexity of the human mind. Often, traditional roles are not appropriate for certain situations. Maybe some weddings just can't be traditional and that's okay. Since marriage is about the people in it, I think the most important thing is to make sure they are both happy with themselves and each other. The opinions of others should not be a factor since they are not part of the relationship. Each person is unique, which makes each person's relationship unique. Trying to shape them around this idea of ​​what roles should be played by whom is like trying to use the same part to repair every car, it doesn't work.
