What Will Marriage Be Like In The Next 50 Years?

The definition of marriage has changed over the past decade. On the way we think and to define "marriage" is now never been an intrinsic and fundamental change. 

There is such a big change in the way we define marriage, equipped with the 1960s and 1970s sexual revolution, where we all boundaries and the norms and values ​​are at stake and suggested can be compared by its cultural roots. Now, in this century, we see a new era, the 2010s and in 2020 there was a revolution in the marriage that has never experienced before.

And there are more to come.

Marriage, so far, has been defined by five things:

1. A married to a person,
2. Two is marriage between a man and a woman,
3. Three, marriage meant that your partner for life,
4. Four, marriage meant sexual fidelity to one person; by siempre.
5. Five, Marriage is no longer a guarantee of sexual fidelity

Well, marriage is defined differently. And not only by liberal Democrats or blue states.

One of them is marriage still married by a person, unless you define a Mormon. But you can also stretch the definition to include things like his polyamory. Polyamory means "poly, many" and "Love" which. In a relationship where you translate more than one person at a time to love more openly polyamorous couples living agreed that more contacts in this country who can fill on the island of Manhattan. And that's just the people who identify openly as "poly." 

Some of these rules, but referred not to "poly", or select if the researchers come to ask who is the box the other partner will sleep in the room. Although polygamy is legal in the United States does not (Polygamy means more than one person to marry at a time), Polyamory is a lifestyle where couples decide in loving, committed relationships with more than one person, sometimes living together in a house ,

Two, marriage is no longer defined only by an agreement between a man and a woman. Defense of Marriage Act, or DOMA was slain in many parts of the US and gay marriage is legal in 35 states, as of this writing. Which means it is legal to marry two men or two women; or two transsexuals or more people of any gender identification of two legally married. Marriage is no impact on sex, but by love and desire, regardless of sexual identity.

Three, when we marry, we are no longer married for life. Divorce in this country is so widespread, it would be strange to think that a bride or groom never happens when they say their vows,

"Hey, if that does not work, I can always divorce."

Most couples do not think about the separation at the altar. In fact, most couples think that they are different and special, and that divorce will never happen. Although the divorce rate still hovering in the range from about fifty percent of all couples.

The divorce rate was lower in the vicinity of 2009 and 2010, when the recession forced pairs stay together for financial need, and because the real estate market in houses stayed together that could not sell. But in 2011, the market has improved, and an increase in the couple put for sale their homes and went to divorce court. Divorces increased again to their previous high numbers.

Four, marriage has always been a legal contract and vote. Committed divorce what you have honestly thought at that time, was a sincere desire to do the right thing by our partner. Divorce can be devastating for both partners. In this country, since the sixties, when it was legal for women to sue for divorce and custody and maintenance, the process is accessible to everyone. But it is expensive, and attorney fees can add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Emotional frustration of the legal system is often used by couples, revenge and try causes get a financial reward for their efforts. Both children suffer and families. Until recently we did not have many alternatives.

More couples create rituals to end their marriage, they have shared with love and respect for life. While the divorce is still difficult, we are increasingly aware that the culture to a better, cheaper and less painful to do so, if there is much to learn from us at some point in our lives.

And five, marriage is no longer a guarantee of sexual fidelity. Monogamy is "defined married to a person." Because it is a legal term, pledging their love in the time of your marriage is not the same as a law of no confidence against deception. With the ease of access to online fraud and the use of pornography on the Internet, it's easier than ever unfaithful to interfere with a marriage.

Studies show that 45-55% of people drive at some point in their marriage. Some monogamous marriages may on the surface, but have secret affairs. Some have issues and restore to move the view to a more engaged kind of marriage. Some partners negotiate a more fluid monogamy with external partners or sexual agreements do not jeopardize their emotional monogamy art. The integrity of the compound is obtained by emotional involvement, does not remain sexual exclusivity.

These changes are happening now. But what will the future bring? Fifty years?

Currently two are required to marry, but only to end the marriage. The end of a marriage is then usually caused by the decrease of emotional feelings for a partner that a unilateral decision which established to take a court decision to terminate the contract.

In the future, in order to prevent this, marriage is defined to renew shorter contracts extended in increments of five years or less than two year contract with options.

Such agreements must be assessed at the end of the lease and renovate either completed or, depending on how they meet the requirements and expectations of the contract.

Both partners are deciding to stay and renew or both will agree to continue. We renew our license every four years, why not to renew our marriage contract?

In the future same-sex marriages will have been legal for decades. Other arrangements include open marriages between couples with sexual agreements often polyamory and polygamy is perhaps even to visit in the legal system.

More of us bisexual, transgender and sexual androgonous more than ever. Most babies born with no clear gender identity and is not operated to assign a sex. We assessed less sexual identity and how we treat each other.

More families will live in the people, like the agreements renewed foster meets the needs of our children and help us jobs based on our skills, interests and abilities. We will share resources and. For confirmation of our planet

 

Even now, couples are waiting until later than ever before marriage, and some are fertile freeze their eggs, in the hope deferred. This will continue with fertility treatment into egg donation and surrogate parenting least IVF and hormone treatment.

In the future couples are defined at the beginning of their relationship agreements and often visited frank and honest discussions, including their desires and fantasies again, and with new visions of their relationship regularly renewed monogamy. The race will not be seen as a threat to the relationship, but as a way to individual health and well-being, and not required to take from the marriage or mote, and shame fell around. Sex is integrated into a complete and healthy partnership, no way, the couple agreed.

Currently, about 40% of Americans to believe that marriage is obsolete as a concept. You are not sure it is necessary. As a result, the number of couples never marry, and marriage rates continue to decline in the future. To marry no motivation. Married couples no kids to have an ownership or sexual transmission. In a hundred years, the marriage may not even exist.

But we always want a primary partner. It is a basic human tendency to fall in love, have a special person, "another", someone we feel a deeper more spiritual connection.

But we were able to link it with many partners, not just one? How many like-minded people can have in a lifetime? At the time we practice serial monogamy, from marrying a second and even a third, not really with the same partner, until death do us part. Is it possible that we begin to realize that we are living longer, and we need more time for an important relationship in our lives?

But maybe this makes sense. Maybe, if we evolve as human beings to understand that we are not a soul mate. This idea is nice, but the restriction. Perhaps we have many soulmates, maybe a whole tribe of people traveling on earth with us through our time, we have collected, and those that have not been met.

Or maybe, if enough progress has been made, we have learned that our spouse is not only our soul mates, but we all know, and everyone we see, our whole life, even strangers on the street, people in the news, in other countries we never know hate, and whom we all love them - they are our soul mates.
