Marriage is perhaps one of most important thing that happens to a human being because it changes lot of things in lives of both man and woman.

Lets analyze how marriages used to be in earlier India and how with times things are changing. Though its slow shift but its happening and rule of happy marriages are changing.

Earlier marriages in India had well defined role for woman and man. Woman's chief role was considered to be a homemaker who had to take care of in laws , husband and children. Since joint family was norms in those days , she had to be part of team of all women in the house and contribute in household activities.

Man's chief role was to provide and protect . He was chiefly concerned with earning aspect and contribute little bit in raising the kids . But chiefly it was woman's role to take care of home.

In today's era , nuclear family is the norm. Woman are educated and many work too. Marriage is now more of a partnership venture (which it was supposed to be since institution came into existence) . Marriages are no more a provider-server relationship and rules of happy marriages are changing accordingly.

Roles are bluring and woman are rightly becoming more assertive and man are becoming more cooperative. Working woman has her own dreams and aspirations , while she still takes care of her home , while man are also contributing in helping woman taking care of home , upbringing of child.

There is section in society who is resisting the changing scenario in the system. Their argument is because of assertive and empowerment of woman , divorce rates are increasing.

What these people dont realize is marriage was always meant to have two partners and what is use of partner who doesnot express her opinion , express her vision and her desire?. Economically independent woman would stay in marriage out of love and not compulsion and that is what makes marriage a true marriage.

Adapting one's self to changing reality needs some work and for man who blame empowerment of woman for their failure must understand that freedom , communication , respecting partner ,seeking their point of view , adjusting to their needs is required for happy marriage.

Earlier marriage could survive without above things since expectation of woman from a man was more about being provided , protected . Having freedom , expressing her opinions , having say in financial aspect was not considered to be big issues.But now rules of happy marriage is changing and its great that they are changing. Isn't it?.
