                             THE CHANGES IN MARRIAGE
     Like many other countries, Turkey is in the midst of major social change. This social change has affected people’s outlook on life and marital life. It also led to the cultural change and generational differences. Later, the major changes have been seen in marriages from our grandparents’ time to our time; these the time of marriage, partner selection, divorce rates.
    First, the time of marriage changed. People were starting to work at early ages and there was farming, manpower-intensive occupations in our grandparents’ time. They were making money at early ages and their families were forcing their children to marry. However, in ourtime, people must complete their education to make money. Therefore, they are old when they marry.
    Second, there is a difference in partner selection. Choosing a marriage partner was a family matter in our grandparents’ time. Because of cradle arrangements, their partner was known. Thus, it led to unhappy marriages. But, in our time, choosing a marriage partner is an individual matter. Finally, they select the appropriate person to marry.
Finally, the divorce rates are different. In our grandparents’ time, the divorce rate was less. Because families decided to partner who they married, divorce was a big problem. On the other hand, there is an increase in the divorce rates in our time. Due to the social change, the significance of the marriage decreased. After that, the divorce was seen as a normal event.
    In conclusion, there are lots of differences between our grandparents’ time and our time. They cause many changes in marital life andwe can see the changes easily when we compare marriage in our grandparents’ time and marriage in our time. In my opinion, these changes will continue throughout the history of mankind. After that, we will see the differences between us and our grandchildren in the near future.
