Marriage model change, monogamy dies? In the future, these three new models may be deduced
The institution of marriage is the basic institution for maintaining family harmony and has a direct impact on everyone's life and the stability of the family and society.
The marriage system of human beings has undergone tens of thousands of years of vicissitudes from ancient times to the present, and will continue to change in the future, so what kind of marriage system is the real ideal marriage system?
There may not be a perfect institution of marriage, but it is undeniable that today's young people are no longer bound by fixed patterns, and they are becoming more and more bold in their pursuit of their own happiness. Does this mean that traditional monogamy will no longer be the only option, or that it will come to an end?
In the early stages of primitive Chinese society, the institution of marriage did not exist. In the ancient Dark Ages of mankind, since there was no fixed spouse, the clan could only be determined by the mother, and later, with the development of private property, patriarchy overthrew the matrilineal system that had lasted for 10,000 years.
At that time, polygamy has existed throughout history. However, with the advancement of women, this model is considered disrespectful to women. Over time, we began to emphasize equality between men and women, which led to the fact that polygamy was no longer supported.
It was only after the founding of the People's Republic of China that monogamy was protected by law. Monogamy is one of the most socially developed and fair and just systems, but in modern society, monogamy faces many tests.
A professor at Beijing Medical University once believed that monogamy makes 90% of people sick, and that the root cause of this disease is that their desires for each other are not satisfied. Don't you think it's incredible or even ridiculous? But a truly good marriage will not satisfy either party's needs.
In recent years, the imbalance between men and women has become increasingly prominent. According to the latest news released by the Chinese Health Bureau, by 2030, the single population will exceed 1400 million, and that number is rising.
Along with today's fast-paced life, the fast-paced life leads to a way where people can focus more on the passions in front of them. There are also a lot of quick relationships, quick beginnings and ends. Unlike the previous father's love, the carriage and horse move slowly, and holding hands is a lifetime.
However, with the advent of various marriage models that are unimaginable in today's society. Monogamy is facing major challenges and changes.
Although monogamy is still mainstream. When people are no longer bound by traditional marriage patterns, more diverse marriage models will continue to emerge. So, what will the marriage model look like in the future? Which three models are likely to be superseded in the future?
The first is a formal marriage, which, as the name suggests, is a marriage that exists in name only. Obviously, the two are married, but in order to cope with life, when they come home from work, there is no communication, and everyone is playing with their mobile phones. Although people are together, the spiritual world is separated.
Maybe it's because you have children, so you can handle it. The discomfort of marriage can only be restored when you are alone.
There is not much affection between husband and wife. A lover is not like a lover, a home is not like a home, what is the point of marriage?
There is also a type of family marriage, in which two people maintain a marital relationship for the sake of the family business. This kind of formal marriage only has a model of interests, no husband and wife feelings, only the maintenance of interpersonal relationships and the exchange of interests, but this kind of marriage only exists in the big family.
There is also a form of marriage with independence at its core, which exists among some celebrities, capitalists, and other high-net-worth individuals, who do not interfere in each other's lives and are busy with their own careers. In life, they focus more on personal space and personal fun.
There are also working couples who have families and children, but they have to leave home for a year and a half, or even three or five years. People call this kind of marriage in two separate places"Widowhood", so that two people have different hearts and mouths, and their virtues are different.
But these energetic young people also have spiritual and material needs. Over time, they huddled together to keep warm. We don't judge whether this model is right or not, but it responds to the spiritual and material needs of salarymen.
This phenomenon is also commonly known"Temporary marriages"。This phenomenon is illegal in our country and runs counter to the ethics and morality of the Chinese nation.
The second is the exclusive cohabitation model. This part of the people believe that getting married is not the same as getting a ticket that can avoid risks forever. This is the successful experience of translating the marriage model into some young people.
They are more focused on emotional sharing.
In fact, it has become a wedding choice for some. They are more concerned with the relationship between their partners and how they get along with each other than with traditional forms of marriage.
At the legal level, they are not protected by the law and have few obligations on both sides. Nor do they assume the responsibilities inherent in marriage.
Nowadays, cohabitation without marriage has become a trend to enhance the companionship of each other.
This provides an opportunity for women who do not want to get married but want to have children.
In order to protect the population, some provinces have introduced regulations on unmarried births. In line with this trend, some parts of the country also allow unmarried children to register for household registration.
The third form is the single, childless single model. Being single represents a group of people who rebel against traditional notions of family and marriage. They believe that marriage restricts their freedom and that marriage is unnecessary.
Conversely, marriage can also reduce autonomy and affect career development. Singleness is not a product of people no longer loving or caring about love and affection, but a way of approaching married life, a free choice of the individual.
Nowadays, there are more and more people who are single. Either because they see too many unhappy marriages, or because they are afraid of the unknown and uncertainty of marriage.
Either marriage is too much of a burden, or the responsibilities of marriage and parenting hold them so that they cannot be free. It's better to live a life where one person feeds and the whole family doesn't go hungry.
There are also a lot of single people in rural areas. Nowadays, some young people are under too much pressure to get married, and they can't afford the bride price, garage, dowry, gold and silver jewelry, etc.
This has led to many people in their 30s not getting married, which has become the norm. It can even be said that this phenomenon has become so commonplace that people are no longer surprised.
However, women choose not to marry because they are financially independent. They can earn more than men, have a car and a house, live happily alone, and worry that once they get married, they will have to have children, take care of the family, and deal with interpersonal relationships.
If you don't find someone you've decided you want to marry for the rest of your life, remember that you'd rather be single than settle down. I'd rather be single than settle down.
That way, you don't have to go through a chicken-and-egg marriage either. You can choose to be single and have more personal space to pursue your dreams and career instead of getting involved in a long list of bad marriages.
Avoid letting trivial issues affect you. Don't have to endure all the inconveniences of married life, make the most of your time and resources, pay attention to your own needs, and enrich your experience. But there are also those who believe that these people who are born single do not really experience love and family.
In some cultures, multiple partnerships are still rare. However, some communities and organizations have begun to explore this new form of marriage and try to build a more equal and harmonious relationship.
The Multiple Partnership System recognizes the individual's need for diversity and change. It tends to have stable, fair relationships with multiple partners on an equal footing.
New Zealand's cultural environment is highly inclusive, which has been recognized by the Supreme Court of New Zealand"Polygamy"。This brings marriage choices to a new stage of richness and creativity, and this plurality of marriages helps us build stronger relationships.
For the average person, this is still a subversive assumption. This kind of seems to respect each other, but in fact, both parties are pretending to be lovers, just on the table.
The other model is same-sex marriage, which refers to a legally recognized marriage between people of the same sex. Over the past few decades, same-sex marriage has gradually gained recognition and respect around the world.
Many countries and regions have legalized same-sex marriage. The legalization of same-sex marriage has eliminated social discrimination and exclusion of homosexuals to a certain extent, and promoted social inclusion and diversity.
Although it has not yet been legalized in China, it has been recognized by the laws of more and more countries around the world. These new models have become an important choice for young people's concept of marriage. We should note the tendency for multiple marriage patterns to coexist.
In general, the pattern of marriage is different from the traditional structure and concept of modern society. But regardless of the form of marriage, the basic values must be respect and tolerance.
Against this backdrop, we must give more and more people the opportunity to create their own homes and home lives. At the same time, tradition must be respected and accepted, and it must be recognized that remarriage has become a trend.
Different marriage relationships correspond to different demand groups, and everyone has the freedom to choose the marriage form that suits them. But no matter what form of marriage, the most basic condition for two people to be together is to continue to love each other, and only in this way can they talk about a happy marriage.
Let's be honest, will monogamy really go away? And it didn't go away. It's still there, at least on the surface, but is it really gone?
No, monogamy has always been the dominant form of marriage in modern society. But with the increasing sense of freedom and more and more people starting to try to diversify their lifestyles, the direction of monogamy is no longer so clear. We should focus on the emergence of this phenomenon and not simply understand it as the decline of monogamy.
