Robert Quillen said "A happy marriage is the union of two good forgivers." There was a time when it was simple. You got married, had kids, worked the land, and stayed married whether you could stand each other or not. The concept of a happy marriage was no more relevant than the idea of "a pretty tractor."
That has changed over time as marriage has become more independent," says Steven Nock, a professor of sociology who studies marriage at the University of Virginia and author of Marriage in Men's Lives. "Couples don't need each other for quite as many things as they once did. If you're running a farm with someone, it doesn't matter if you're pissed at her or not. You need her labor as much as she needs yours. The couple is more or less equally dependent on each other.
But there are exceptions. In some religion marriage is not equal or dependent on each other. In Tibbat there are tribes where women works in the field and husband do household works.

Its really a hardship to maintain and support the family financially all alone. You wont get time for yourself. You have to give your all to the family.
A non Muslim women is more open minded,obligate to work outside and take responsibility of maintenance and support the family equally. Non Muslim women go outside on the market,can take kids out,can study. Comparing to other religion a Muslim women get more advantage then a non Muslim wife.
All those words state that there is more chances to lead a happy married life with a non Muslim women then a Muslim women.

So here we see how on the other side marriage with a non Muslim girl is less burden and have more chances to work it better and lead a happy Marriage life by depending on each
(Gordon 58). The house chores that would usually be saved for the women of society was shunned by Arab women in a response to their sheltered status shoved on them by Islam. Before Islam, women were writers, historians, nurses, and warriors. But with Islam their rights were stripped away and they were placed in harems-the women quarters of the Islamic household (Gordon 58). The harem usually consisted of up to four wives, concubines, slave girls entertainers, and domestic slaves (Lewis 74 and Segal 38).
Women’s rights has always been a prevalent issue throughout history, this topic was usually ignored and justified by men. However this all changes in the late 19th and early 20th century, when women no longer considered themselves the lesser gender, and those silly justifications by men are rebuked and found false. Two historic advocates for women’s rights were Sojourner Truth, and Bahithat al-Badiya. Though both women came from different backgrounds, they still held similar views on gender equality. Sojourner Truth was a former slave from New York.
However, in reality not every marriage is a functional one. Society plays a huge role on the repression that enforce in marriage. Individuals are more accepting of marriage now and understand that every person does not necessarily want to marry but unhappy and feel trapped. Perhaps the in the "The Story of an Hour" and "The Yellow Wallpaper" the husbands might of love their wives and the feeling might of being mutual, but since it all took place in a different time period where society harshly criticizes women for not being married or for leaving the marriage they were in. Both women in the stories directly have a problem with the institution of marriage and feel like society is the one in charge of trapping women into marriage.

Everyone has habits - pattern of behavior that they repeat, sometimes without even being aware that they are repeating them. While most habits are harmless, they can be annoying to either the person preforming them or those closest to them. In this essay, Amy Sutherland attempts to break her husband of his bad habits by employing the same methods used to train animals. While writing a book about exotic animal trainers, Sutherland picked up many techniques to aid in her own training. “What Shamu Taught Me About a Happy Marriage” is a humorous piece that illustrates the fact that humans are just as susceptible to training as animals are.
It is evident that marriage is full of ups and downs, but the way couples manage these fluctuations in their relationship determines the strength of their connection. Both partners in a committed relationship must feel the same way and work equally as hard to push through potential obstacles. Being devoted to the relationship can ensure that the marriage will be able to survive the hardships and maintain a healthy, successful marriage. The emotional hardships and positives that a married couple endures on a daily basis are presented throughout the entirety of the poem, “Marriage”, by Gregory Corso. Corso’s poem explores the pressures and factors that influence marriage and sheds light on Updike’s short story about a couple facing divorce.
First, according to the Muslim Students Association of IUPUI, Marriage in Islam, married Muslim women have very strict rules. For example, a married Muslim woman should not let strange men into the house without permission from the husband. A married Muslim woman also should not be alone with a strange man. She should also not receive gifts from a strange man without the consent of her husband (Muslim Students Association of IUPUI). Muslim women must live these rules out in their everyday life.
Marriage by definition is “the legal union of a man and a woman as husband and wife.” Americans statistically fail in a marriage, (According to Susan Estrich)“with more than half of all marriages ending in divorce, families are not what they used to be. In modern marriages, one of the partners will get married to the other for the wrong reasons such as financial stability (wealth). (According to Emma Goldman)” Marriage is primarily an economic arrangement, an insurance pact.” This is a common mistake in marriages because you are marrying someone over money not love, and that's a bad way to approach any relationship.
Divorce is categorized as the greatest threat to marriage since this occurrence is likely to destroy the quality as well as steadiness of families and children globally. Even though the divorce number has rapidly increased in the United States and globally, it is worth noting that the number of married couples and children that are growing up in complete families is also on the rise than when compared to the period of divorce revolution. Cohabitation is one of the underrated marriage threat in the modern society. This is because most individuals live together not just because they are a part of each other but mainly because they are focused on reducing their life struggles as well as raising their children (Evans,
The conflict theory’s focus on divorce inspects the imbalance and power dynamics that are held within a society that can trickle down to individuals and their marital relationships. A society that is constantly in a state of battling and oppressing for distribution of limited resources plays a role in each and every divorce. Divorces are offered at a costly price, and the distributions of the assets between the two can often cause even more strife among couples feeling deeply saddened and/or resentful. Unrealistic expectations as well as underlying unresolved issues in individuals also play a role in divorces. America’s divorce rate averages about forty to fifty percent and subsequent marriages have even higher rates of separation.
