Compare and contrast institutional, companionate, and individualized marriages. Which type do you believe to be more long-lasting? Which is more meaningful? Why?
Are there still forms of institutional and companionate marriages in this postmodern era (provide examples)? Do they exist in older generations (your parents/grandparents, etc.)?
What do you think has caused the deinstitutionalization of marriage? Do you believe this to be a good thing or a bad thing?
How has individualized marriage changed the postmodern family (decline or inevitable change)?
What do you think the future holds for marriages (based on recent trends)?
