Over the past few years, traditional expectations of marriage have shifted significantly for married women in my area. Women are now more likely to be seen as equals within their marriages, with both spouses taking an active role in decision-making and financial responsibility. There is a greater emphasis on communication and mutual respect between partners, which can lead to stronger marriages overall. Many couples are also choosing to prioritize their careers and individual interests over traditional gender roles—which allows them to achieve personal fulfillment while still maintaining a happy marriage.
