Marriage has lost its value. The Red Tent proves this by not only showing that marriage is just for women to have babies, but marriage is no longer sacred between people who love each other. Zilpah didn’t want to marry Jacob, but because her sisters married him she felt obligated to, leaving Zilpah and Jacobs marriage in shambles. Even when Jacob tried to show Zilpah extra attention, and he tried to love her, it still didn’t make her love him, because she didn’t love him in the first place, after she had her baby she just left it at that, and didn’t show Jacob any time of day.

Marriage is an important institution in a society and although there have been changes in the trend of marriage pattern, it is still very clear that marriage still matters. Marriage exists and its main aim is to bring two people together to form a union, where a man and a woman leave their families and join together to become one where they often start their own family.
