Before the 19
th
century, families usually arranged marriages for their children. Young people did not
decide who they wanted to marry. After they got married, they usually had a lot of children. In the 19
th
century, most yong people could choose the person they wanted to marry. A marriage joined two people, not
two families. Two peple could get married because the loved each other, not just because their families
wanted them to marry. At the same time, parents began to realize that they had to take very good care of their
children. Before this, most people did not go to school. The family members all worked together at home.
Later, peole realize that education was necessary for a good life.
Today many parents think that they should have fewer children so they can give each one a good life. They
think it is important for a mother and a father to spend as much time as possible with their children. They
think parents should take care of their health and try to give them an education. Home is seen as a safe, warm
place for all the family members.
