Marriage in the 21st Century

This assignment will help you gain a better understanding of the  institution of marriage and its significance today. Marriage is  something that every society has. As you are learning, marriage has its  advantages and also its challenges. The concept of marriage continually  changes as our society changes.

 Please start off  with an introduction paragraph and then clearly cover:

1. How marriage rates have changed over the years and why.
2. The difficulties associated with transitioning into married life.
3. The challenges of marriage in our society today (vs. previous generations).
4. The privileges/benefits of marriage.
5. How choices have changed when it comes to the type of marriages that couples might enter into.
6. What changed in our country that had a significant impact on  interracial (and interfaith) marriages, thus affecting the ethnic makeup  of our society?
7. Challenges and privileges you have experienced/or anticipate in the  future in reference to your marriage. If you are not married you can  discuss the marriage of your parents or others close to you. Please do  not share any information that you feel is too personal (If you aren't  comfortable discussing your own situation you can discuss the marriage  of someone you know.).
8. Anything else that you have learned from this assignment and a conclusion.
