        At least since the Industrial Revolution, gender roles have been in a state of transition. As a result, cultural scripts about marriage have undergone change, One of the more obvious ___46____ has occurred in the roles that women    47   . Women have moved into the world of work and have become adept at meeting expectations in that arena,     48    maintaining their family roles of nurturing and creating a(n)   49      that is a haven for all family members.  50   many women experience strain from trying to “do it all, ” they often endoy the increased    51   that can result from playing multiple roles. As women’s roles have changed, changing expectations about men’s roles have become more   52  . Many men are relinquishing their major responsibility   53   the family provider. Probably the most significant change in men’s roles, however, is in the emotional     54   of family life. Men are increasingly   55   to meet the emotional needs of their families,   56    their wives. #'N"<o[

We are thus seeing marriages in which men’s and women’s roles are becoming increasingly more   60   . u-g2*(ZT
