Paragraph I plan on editing (Original Form): Over the years, gender roles have continued to change and have a significant impact on the institution of marriage. Gender roles can be defined as the behaviors, values, and attitudes that a society considers appropriate for both male and female. Motivated by the women's rights movement and various other movements gender roles have begun to change, resulting in the changing economic landscape, women entering the workplace and many more. Traditionally, men and women had completely opposing roles, men were seen as the provider for the family and women were seen as the caretakers of both the home and the family. However, in today's society the division of roles are starting to blur. More and more individuals are adapting non-traditional gender roles into their marriage in order to share responsibilities. This revolutionary view on gender roles seeks out equality between sexes. In today's society it is more likely that a man and woman are both providers for their family. More and more women are entering the workforce while more men are contributing to household duties. Despite the fact that there is still a gap between gender roles, today, roles are less gendered and more equal in comparison to how they were traditionally.

Revised Form: Over the years, gender roles have continued to change and have a significant impact on the institution of marriage. After around the year 1980, divorce rates in the United States stabilized. This stabilization was due to several factors including, but not limited to, the shift in gender roles, which was motivated by the women's rights movement and various other movements. The attitude concerning the shift in gender roles can be classified into two: traditional and egalitarian. Traditonal attitudes are considered to be what is taught to children when they learn about marriage- wives raise the children and keep the home nice, and men are the breadwinners. Egalitarian attitudes are considered to be more equal- wives and husbands are both breadwinners and they both take part in raising the children and keeping the home nice. Over the years, attitudes in marriages have become more egalitarian. Studies carried out over the years have shown strong correlation between egalitarian attitudes and happiness and satisfaction in marriage, which both lead to stabilization in divorce rates. The results of a study performed by Gayle Kaufman, a professor of sociology, indicated that those who hold egalitarian attitudes report significantly higher levels of marital happiness than those with more traditional attitudes. Another study executed by WIll Marshall in 2008 had results showing that relationships with better quality involve people with more egalitarian beliefs. It has been assumed that the shift in gender roles and egalitarian attitudes have resulted in marriage stability due to tasks being carried out by both partners, such as working late-nights, picking up ill children from school, and more. Despite the fact that there is still a gap between gender roles today, roles are less gendered and more equal in comparison to how they were traditionally.

Although the gap in gender roles still exists, roles have become less gendered and more equal in marriages compared to how they were traditionally as a result of many things taking place in history (such as the Women's Rights Movement and the creation/spread of the egalitarian attitude).

Actual Final Revised Form:  After around the year 1980, divorce rates in the United States stabilized. Scholars in the area of sociology explain that this stabilization was due to several factors including, but not limited to, the shift in gender roles,. The attitude concerning the shift in gender roles can be classified into two perspectives: traditional and egalitarian. Traditional attitudes uphold designated responsibilities for the sexes- wives raise the children and keep the home nice, and men are the breadwinners. Egalitarian attitudes uphold responsibilities being carried out equally by both sexes- wives and husbands are both breadwinners and they both take part in raising the children and keeping the home nice. Over the past 40 years, attitudes in marriages have become more egalitarian. Two studies carried out in the early 2000's have shown strong correlation between egalitarian attitudes and happiness and satisfaction in marriage, which scholars believe lead to stabilization in divorce rates. The results of a 2006 study performed by Gayle Kaufman, a professor of sociology, indicated that those who hold egalitarian attitudes report significantly higher levels of marital happiness than those with more traditional attitudes. Another study executed by Will Marshall in 2008 had results showing that relationships with better quality involve people with more egalitarian beliefs. It has been assumed by Danielle J. Lindemann, a sociologist who studies gender, sexuality, the family, and culture, that the shift in gender roles and egalitarian attitudes have resulted in marriage stability due to tasks being carried out by both partners, such as working late-nights and picking up ill children from school. Although the gap in gender roles still exists, roles have become less gendered and more equal in marriages compared to how they were traditionally.
