What are you prattling on about? Very little about this statement is true. Schools still have PE and music and part. Personal finance is a requirement for graduation (so is PE) and those electives are usually offered, if not required.
This is someone who is not the primary caretaker of kids and does not handle school issues.

1. Open communication and respect
2. Appreciation for what the other does
3. Sharing of various household and childcare tasks
4. Making sure we have date nights and other things to keep our connection.
5. Hug and kiss regularly
I'm sure there are more. I would absolutely hate being in a "traditional female role" where the childcare and domestic stuff like cooking falls on me. But I have a friend who absolutely loves that kind of life and it works for them.
This is a great post.

This is a complex question and there is really no easy answer. There are laws about divorce, community property and inheritance and they vary by state. Marriage affects taxes, insurance and retirement. Beyond that, you are expected to abide by the law and codes like everyone else.
If you mean what are the cultural expectations, that will vary widely, from engagement to old age. In most marriages, people expect monogamy and a lack of violence in the home. Abuse, adultery or addiction are usual reasons to divorce.

Public schools don’t teach much at all the last 15-20 years. No gym class, no tech ed, no finance class, no home EC, no music, maybe art once a week or quarter, no thinking and definitely no critical thinking homework or projects.
Jsut teach to the tests.
How many standardized tests nowadays in k-12 public school?
3 MAP tests a year and every subject has a state test in May to get the common core federal funds.
Good times.

pE class!??!
There are no gym sports units anymore in public school. They have no equipment and too many students to cycle through to do anything meaningful.
So it’s different variants of dodgeball for k-5 and then they force intramural sports first or last thing in lieu of PE class for 6-12 “requirements”. Oh, and if you do 10 hours of a sports team elsewhere you just turn in that paperwork and skip PE or intramurals entirely.

Our public school includes requirements in gym, digital literacy, financial literacy, and fine arts (music or art), and offers many opportunities for critical thinking through after-school extracurriculars like chess club, debate team, and robotics. We live in a town with a well funded education foundation that supplements, but still. The state of public education is nowhere near is bad as some people perceive it to be.
No one cares what the requirements are, we care wtf is actually going on in the classroom. And with no textbooks, no graded work, no handouts, and no real feedback, it’s not much.

Whatever you agree to with the partner is the standard.

And you’ve never watched American tv shows?
All my Asian friends learned English and cultural expectations via watching tv shows and movies.
Oh no.
