    The document discusses the evolution of marriage and family structures in America over time. It outlines four stages from the 19th century to present: (1) the wife was subordinate to the husband in the traditional family structure; (2) wives began working outside the home in the late 19th/early 20th century, bringing more equality but husband still had authority; (3) the mid-20th century saw wives' incomes become important and shared decision-making; (4) late 1960s onward brought beliefs of gender equality and equal partners/duties between husband and wife. It also notes the increasing recognition of things like same-sex marriage and blended families in some states.
