Marriage question: what will change in 10 years

The XXI century dictates new rules of the game. What will she be, the family of the future?


Like it or not, and XXI century has made and continues to make adjustments to all aspects of human existence, particularly in social and personal relationships. We live in a narcissistic and self-centered world. Modern technology, comfort and accessibility of information give everything to each person developed individually, took responsibility for himself and did not need help. All huge network of opportunities for earnings and a variety of services to ensure their needs gradually replacing the traditional family, whose main civilizational vocation - to ensure survival. Youth of the XXI century increasingly pay attention to the demands of his ego, realizing that can do without the good old "cell of society", for which their parents are willing to go the "procession" struggle.

It seems that the traditional family dies and we watch her agony. It is better to take "Death" within the meaning Major Arcana tarot card - not a physical end but a transformation. In the scale of civilization, we are witnessing the rebirth of the family in the new construct. That family is, but with different rules of the game. Even after 10 years of marriage when the issue will be approached by representatives of the first generation of Alpha (born from 2012 to 2026 years), they already are stored in a different paradigm. Its main difference from the present - freedom of choice, the total rejection of any pressure and stereotypes. And their parents - millenialy and buzzers on the "procession for the good and eternal" is unlikely to follow.

It is understood that the man is primarily a social being. So old as the world's need for intimacy, kinship and love will not disappear. But what will change, you ask? Approach will change. The key word for family XXI century will not "duty" as it was before, and "partnership".

What is important in a partnership?

Most importantly, most families will distinguish the future from current families will be thorough, conscious, honest dialogue. The fact is that is too big role is played value of past centuries. People live in the paradigm of the so-called "traditional family standards" without asking ourselves the question: 'suitability / I need is that? ". They just follow the existing model. Of course, it's not quite all about, but the vast majority. In partnership as one listens to him and does not make "as usual", but as him / her comfortable. In this family roles and areas of responsibility are distributed not "as it was for his grandfather, great-grandfather," but only as a coordinate between two adults. The secret is that the partners are "on shore" agree on further expectations in a relationship and not taking traditional marriage as heroic karma posed without regard to their own desires. Such families may well choose as one of love for life and poliamornu model, or do whatever it sees fit. Gradually society pozbuvatymetsya pressure and stereotypes. This is actually much healthier than the psychological pressure, which is still perceived as the norm. For example, on January 22 in Shanghai doctors hardly removed from the world 55-year-old man. He attempted suicide because of the shame that his 29 year old son is still officially married. Such a situation should not exist, because each is responsible only for their lives.

It's hard not to notice how a partnership approach to relations already embedded in social reality. It is perfectly clear trends in the choice of young people in large cities. In fact, in addition to partnerships, scientists, futurists noticed other trends that later become the norm absolute family context. Here briefly the most important:

Same-sex marriages

LGBT community already has high support in the world. In addition, the future for young people who demonstrated full acceptance of gay relationships and marriages. When the polls come more alpha buzzer and they want to see in power tolerant of politicians that do not discriminate and equally respect the legitimate rights of all citizens.

Children after 30

New technologies of the future will be targeted as the continuation of life in general, and the continuation of the reproductive period. This trend is already working, because if in 1990 the average age of women giving birth to first child was 21, then in 2020 it is already 26 years. It is expected that in 10 years the figure will move up to 31 years.

One family - one child

Statistics claim that an 8-billion resident is born on Earth already to 2025. Introduction that the settlement of the planet is uneven, then theoretically, problems with the placement of people can be avoided, which will not say about the problem of limited resources. The greatest concern is fresh water. We deliberately do not overpopulate land and save natural resources will become an ecological trend and a challenge of the future. And since the youth is eco-conscious, then the decisions will take appropriate.

Inter-confessional marriages

The higher the technological progress, the lower it becomes social religiosity. So, with time, the belonging to different denominations will not be a tangible obstacle to people who want to be together as it still happens now.

"Boston Marriage"

This tendency says little, but it exists and will gain momentum. "Boston marriage" is called a joint residence of two women without romantic and sexual components. As a rule, it is good girlfriends that share life and responsibilities are worried about one of one, support, jointly educate children. At a young age, girls are most often affected by violence from men. They are heterosexual but do not feel safely living with her husband. Of course, these couples are not much. And the tendency of Boston marriage will become due to the popularity of such a model for women aged 60+. Explains everything simple: no matter how medical, the life expectancy of men still is lower. Even if the average age will rise to 100 years, the gender gap will remain. Particularly relevant "Boston marriage" will become for countries where women have a numerical advantage, such as in Ukraine.

Laying a marriage as such

In fact, the number of officially concluded marriages has a global tendency to decrease. Civil marriages are also established and gain momentum in popularity. But do not hope that the traditional hike to the raccase will disappear as a phenomenon. People who consider marriage with a mandatory stage of their life will remain enough. The advantage of partners' relationship will give them the opportunity not to silence years, nervous and waiting that from the partner will make this step, but still "on the shore" to coordinate when, as they would like a wedding. In fact, this is a very honest and conscious approach. For every person, she wants to marry, or not, is entitled to his choice and that this choice is respected. After all, in fact, the relationship is not about the struggle, proceeding or competition, but about mutual support, respect, love and joint priorities.
