For the “American Marriage in transition” article my question is what will the definition of marriage be in the future, if our culture continues to change what the original meaning of marriage is. The question I thought about for the “Myth of Co-Parenting” article was in this type of society that we live in today, do we really think co-parenting is realistic or is it an ideal goal that all families and parents would love to have?

American Marriage in Transition: Do you think women are still the primary “Homemakers” in the marriage or is it fair to say that they can be seen equal to men in the sense that they are also “Breadwinners”?
The Myth of Co-Parenting: When entering marriage would you agree that at first the intentions are for both parents to split duties between the household chores and “bringing home the bacon?” meaning that both adult figures do both things just as equally.

American Marriage in Transition:
My question for this article is: By the patterns throughout history, marriage has undergone many changes. Changes such as what is acceptable now, that wasn’t acceptable fifty years ago (having children outside marriage etc.). What kind of change could we expect in the future? and how would people react to it?
The Myth of Co-Parenting:
Is co-parenting an attainable goal? Or is it something to shoot for and hope to get close?
