Since I have known the practice of marriage, I have also known the traditional roles associated with it. I grew up aware of the belief that women are usually the domesticated ones, who stay at home to raise children and take care of the house. While men were known as providers, going to work most of the day to take care of the family. This is the kind of dynamic I grew up in for most of my life. Everything changed when I became an adult and my father could no longer do his job. My mother went back to school and eventually went back to work full time. My father took on most of his household responsibilities and everything that needed to be done around the house. Seeing a wedding go one hundred and eight degrees from traditional to modern has definitely changed my perspective on the subject. I don't believe it. Who is to say what is right and what is wrong in 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 many complicated things. To say that people should do certain things based on their sex is to try to simplify the wonderful complexity of the human mind. Traditional roles are often not suitable 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 part is to make sure both of you are happy with yourself and each other. The opinion of others should not be a factor since they are not part of the relationship. Everyone is unique, which makes everyone's relationship unique. Trying to mold them around this idea of ​​which roles should be played by whom is like trying to use the same part to fix every car, it's not going to work..
