A psychologist told how marriage is perceived in the modern world

According to him, in recent years, the role of marriage in society has changed dramatically.

Today the world is increasingly moving in the direction of a lonely existence. Marriage ceases to be valued, divorce is no longer censured in the society, people could easily live alone your whole life.

This was stated by the psychologist, psychotherapist Catherine Alexander.

“Today the world is increasingly moving in the direction of a lonely existence. Marriage ceases to be valued, divorce is no longer censured in the society, people could easily live alone your whole life. We have become more intolerant and not willing to make concessions. Women today earn on an equal footing with men. Economically, the marriage ceases to be viable. Conception occurs in vitro. But biologically is so inherent that we need in a partner and love. And the above reasons and change in the world is not conducive to creating a strong and happy marriage. Today plays the role of a people’s desire to be together and the ability to negotiate,” – said the therapist.

According to E. Alexander, we’re all prone to be deceived, falling.

“But later, when the euphoria passes, there comes severe everyday life. Lovers discover that not everything is so rosy. What are waiting for each other man and woman in the family? Obviously, this depends on various factors. From country, culture, environment and traditions. You can’t compare a traditional Oriental family and the family of young programmers or scientists from Europe. I think, when economic or domestic component, it emotional. Partners are waiting for each other love and support. Today it is a great value. It is very important that partners have similar values, know how to ask and give help and support, and were able to Express their feelings,” said the psychologist.

The expert added that, of course, there are still arranged marriages.

“They have always been and probably will happen in the future. But it is important to answer honestly to yourself and to discuss with a partner what are your expectations. Marriage where a man expects to see in his wife a submissive housewife, having children, and she wants to build a career and does not like children, obviously, and very likely doomed to failure. The difference in the expectations and values of nepogashennoi and inability to negotiate, and often are the reasons of failed marriages,” said the psychologist.
