Roles and relationships in marriage

Historically the roles and relationships in marriage have reflected their roles in society.

Laws and customs have traditionally restricted women’s opportunities, limited their legal rights, and required them to be under protection and control of a man.

The tradition of legal patriarchy is reflected in social practices related to weddings and marriage.

The bride’s father “gives” his daughter to the groom.

Judith Wallerstein's Marriage Models: Traditional Companionate  Rescue Romantic

Traditional - In this type of marriage, the husband is the breadwinner and the wife is the homebased homemaker.

Companionate - Companionate unions are based on the spouses having mutual interests in their careers and children.

Rescue - The central focus of this type of marriage appears to be on being able to heal the damage of a dysfunctional childhood or earlier hurting and damaging relationships. It is often a marriage of the walking wounded.

Romantic - For these married couples, the initial romantic spark is essential and exciting and for them, sensuality continues through decades together.
