Traditional Roles in Relationships: It's Okay to Be Old Fashioned. Relationships have really changed over the last few decades. In most marriages now, men and women share (ideally) the responsibilities of earning the money, handling the finances, making the decisions and raising the children.
Gender roles are socially acceptable and expected rules of behavior for men and women. When people think of gender roles, they often consider traditional roles that dominated the early and mid-20th century in the United States. In these roles, men were the breadwinners of the family, and the women took care of the house and children. These rules of behavior were taught from one generation to another.
