    The document discusses how traditional gender roles of men and women in families have changed over time. It notes that in the past, women primarily fulfilled homemaker duties like housework and childcare while men served as breadwinners, but now both genders share responsibilities both inside and outside the home more equally. The text suggests that families who practice "equally shared parenting" where men and women take on balanced duties related to finances, housework, and childrearing tend to be happier with lower divorce rates.
