Recently, we came across  this article discussing what marriage in the 1950s was like, and after giving it a read through we couldn’t help but laugh (and cringe a little) at how different things are today. No longer are women expected to be doting June Cleavers or chain smoking, staying-in-an-unhappy-marriage-because-there’s-no-other-option Betty Drapers. Now, women are breadwinners. Now, women get married because they want to...not because they have to. Now, women juggle work and family and friendships. Now, women do not make jello molds.

So, in the spirit of showing how things have changed (with a humorous twist, of course), we decided to lay out some of the vast differences between marital bliss in the 1950s and now.
