Changing Perspectives on Marriage Norms
The chapter examines societal pressures around marriage, discussing changing patterns, the historical context, and critiques of the evolving marriage landscape. Speaker Rebecca Traster reflects on the intertwining of marriage with social and political movements, including controversies like same-sex marriage, the Defense of Marriage Act, and covenant marriage. The conversation touches on the push to reinstate marriage as a compulsory norm and explores how focusing on personal behaviors may deflect attention from addressing larger systemic inequalities.
