Marrying young vs marrying later (used to be early 20"s, now late 20"s/early 30"s) Traditional roles vs the peer marriage : man in primary worker, woman cares for children and home = traditional, both partners work and contribute to care of home and children = peer marriage. Marriage as the goal vs marriage as one of many goals: self-worth being measured as ability to find husband. Married men are happier than married women.
