The increase of love marriage as opposed to arranged marriage  has been instrumental in bracking down the traditional male/female roles within relationship.

I don't think the roles are broken down by this but by increased freedom in general

read my post in your another question about polygamy. i have mentioned some of sad social effects.\n\n  the main problem in india was that hinduism did not officially allowed divorce. socially some lower casts and ribes were more open minded. their own "Panchayat" (you can say a jury or some local respected head of that cast or tribe) listen to such cases and sometimes allowed the separation . but upper casts thought it was a real bad custom. actually they considrerd it insulting to divorce or let remarry their women. and slowly it was banned altogether in absence of social acceptence.\n\n  men got a way and more popularised polygamy so they can get another partner. \n\n  nobody likes to struggle and compete for love and attention constantly. it they have to then the problems are bound to come up. \n\n   iam glad that government went ahead and tried to restore some dignity to women by banning polygamy and strnghthening their position in their marriage.

Isn't this why a lot of married men have mistresses nowadays?  There's a shortage of single available men. It's just a matter of whether or not society accepts this arrangement or not if the numbers of men continue to dwindle.

there was less divorce back then. now there are more parents being taken care of by their children, more stepfamilies now, more single mothers and mothers working.

It's called Mid-Life Crisis, They tend to fall in love with somebody younger, and could go on like that for years, some even leave their wives and later regret it.

It isn't marriage that causes the change in a relationship, it is time.  Marriage is a commitment that you will give your all to a relationship for good or bad including surviving the vestiges of time.

I think it is not ok. I know that some cultures encourage that, however I think it should be up to the individuals to decide who they want to spend the rest of their lives with. For example in some cultures a 12 year old girl may have an arrange marriage with a 70 year old man, so that the family can make some sort of profit. In this case that is rather sick.

married men and gay men might be more sensitive then available ones

I believe in love marriage. Indian girls should have the freedom to date if they want to. Why? Because this is 2006, not 1906. I have an Indian friend who's parents arranged for him to meet this girl, and the girl rejected him because his skin is so dark. Now he has a complex about it. I believe in freedom of choice.

personally. women of yesterday are greater than us now. they had more strict standards to live by and they probably had a lot more pressure and expectations from men.

when you are Young it is all love and the man can do almost no wrong. many years later it is all about security. we are still primal cause all the other stuff in between is just feel good stuff. women want to taken care of and loved they can't divide the 2. they see security as being loved and men want a sense of control and to be adored. similar to what a woman wants but derived in 2 different ways. some where between here and there is the compromise. quite frankly there is never really a compromise just different ways we view the marriage.

Unequivocally NO! If they chose that life style then so be it, but as far as benefits are concerned out of the question.  Societies fall from moral decay and that is a fact, and ours is well on it's way, I do believe all this gay and lesbian stuff is about to blow up in their faces.  It is a life style that destroys the vary meaning of marriage between a man and a woman, In my opinion they are an insult to humanity.  I believe it is time our religious leaders and government gives these people a loud and clear message that the party is over and will not be condoned by our society.

I'd say it has a lot to do with culture. Asian parents expect their daughters not to marry out of race, so they don't want to get even remotely involved just in case. There's probably a bit of prejudice in it too.

Because most relationships is one sided, one loves the other more the other takes advange of it.
