Is the modern-day woman slowly changing the concept of marriage?

By Edith. O. Virginia The modern-day career woman is something every woman grows and aspires to be, but what happens when being the modern-day woman is discredited as a bad influencer to young growing girls? The changing perception of marriage created by modern-day women is affecting a larger number of young girls. The narrative of marriage is slowly changing in the hands of women who have made marriage life appear as a tit for tat venture. In an era where people are slowly obsessing over material things, little is known of what makes love and marriage last longer now. The contemporary modern-day woman is known for her staunch belief in being miss independent - the no-nonsense woman who does all it takes to live life, eating from the big spoon. Keenly looking at this matter, you will realize that most people see marriage from a perspective of commercialization or something beneficial. Everybody wants to marry rich, diluting the concept of being in Marriage for companionship. Rich modern-day women rarely see the need to play wifey thus creating a false ideology for younger women growing up and finding it hard to settle. Olden day love is merely gone as people now refuse to be openly affectionate in relationships. You may ask how? Well, fewer and fewer people fancy hanging out as families, taking pictures and hanging them on their walls showing off their families because for some reason they are afraid of the embarrassment that comes once everything ends, therefore, living life hanging on thin threads. Modern-day women will willingly choose themselves with a narrative of peace that is more important. Thus we see an increase in many single-headed households more single moms living with their children and making it all work out. The kind of influence created by this narrative has gone to show that the modern-day woman is not busy with being in a marriage if there is really no benefits especially material ones so they choose to be their own providers The supplication of their interests first is the way to go for the modern-day woman who has clearly changed the narrative of marriage in contemporary society. To some is either 50/50 or nothing less. If you are keen netizens you may have come across the quote that goes something like a man is a want but never a need. The modern-day woman is quick to tell a man this and will definitely flee at the onset of any toxicity which simply means they are not here to force things but change a narrative that society has held on to too long.
