This paper investigates the social impact of the recent “modernization” of relations between men and women, especially concerning the family, due to the importance of this institution to forge a link not only between the sexes but also between generations. This is done in three ways: a) through historical contextualization to identify the roots of this modernization and the most important social issues connected to it; b) through survey and analysis of statistical data that demonstrate the characteristics of this modernization in the United States, where there is a considerable amount of reliable information and analysis around the subject of this dissertation that will allow the findings to be generalized or adapted for application in other areas; c) through the interpretation of these changes, supported by academic research and reflections of various critics of modernity such as Bauman (2003, 2008, 2010) and Lasch (1997). The research found out that the main factor of the latest changes on the popularity and durability of marriages, at least in the United States, seems to be economical: the steady fall in the average real wage of blue-collar jobs. This fall, in the context of urbanization and the development of “sexual technologies”, such as the contrapceptive pill, triggers and accelerates most of the social problems associated with this modernization. The negative impact of the new relationship “metagame” is drastic in ghettos, inner cities and for groups with less formal education and lower income; but marriages and families of highly educated women with the largest salaries, on the contrary, have shown signs of improvement (being the only group or demographic cut in which there is a significant improvement of familial and marital conditions under the current scheme)
