Discuss the three types of marriage as they have changed in the trend toward deinstitutionalization. Name and describe each type of marital pattern, and identify the time in which it was most prominent in the United States.
What will be an ideal response?
Correct answers will vary but should include (1) institutional marriage, which was in the early twentieth century and focused more on marriage as an important institution to participate in and less on good companionship, passion, and intimate love; (2) companionate marriage, which was during the mid-twentieth century and focused on companionate love, a clear division of labor between roles assigned for the husband and the wife, and held together by bonds of sentiment, friendship, and sexuality; and (3) individualized marriage, which is post 1960 and focuses more on individual satisfaction than on the family as a whole. In this form, marriage should support the development and growth of the individual.
