I. II. Sex Roles in marriage
This article is interesting because I am a newlywed and can relate to this generation of marriage roles. I realized that the dynamics of marriage have changed over the past decades. This article explains and provides comparison examples regarding the role of marriage today and the previous role of marriage. Family structure has changed significantly because of an increase in financial obligations and other factors. According to Krausz (1986), statistics from the United Stated Department of Labor Wage and Employment Standards Administration indicate that women’s participation in the labor force has increased. I am allured by some of the details that the article provides relating to the research in marriage and gender roles. Although women play a bigger role in the finances, women, and men still have their typical gender task in marriage. Men are still responsible for the cars, house maintenance, and lawn care. Women are still responsible for cooking, caring for the children and laundry. Social scientist have gained interest in a woman’s role as a financial provider and carrying the household. I find this research interesting because I am a wife, mother of two, full-time student and full- time worker. The research findings suggest that employed wives, regardless of their type of employment, do less housework and have more decision making influence than do unemployed wives (Krausz, 1986). When examining my household, I find that I do have more decision making influence; however I still have a large amount of housework.
