You can say "traditional" if you like. Some people still practice this to some extent. But, there is one little element everyone is missing. If someone can mention this they might win this QA.

Thanks for all the answers. I had some idea of what the answer would be to this question. But, this is helping me to expand my understanding of a question like this.

Old school marriage is one where the man works earns the living and is in control of the household, makes the decisions regarding his family and what they do, the woman stays at home and is happy to deal with the kids and house and let her husband do the rest. Marriage is till death do you part, divorce which did happen is very rare. Men and women both take their vows serious. God was an important factor in lives as well as marriages back then not money and social standing. The couple worked through things and stayed together. Most slept in twin beds apart from each other.

How it used to be.... of course when you got married both parteners were that..... partners in life through thick and thin. Nowdays it's too easy to get a divorce if times get a bit tough. Plus used to be each knew their role..... a man is a man and a woman is a woman, each bringing something to the whole. Now the woman tries to be the man and there doesnt seem to be too many strong confident men anymore. This is because for years women kept asking for a sensitive guy but now wonder where the "men" are. But the basic definition of old school is two people together no matter what...... a team working through life.

Husband works, wife stays at home with the kids. Wife cooks and cleans. Everyone knows their role when they enter the union. There can and still is love in these marriages, but they are not the modern day marriages we all know.

An "old school" marriage would be like when your grand parents got married.....Back when marriage ACTUALLY meant something........You were devoted to that ONE person til death do u part......You say your marriage vows and MEAN IT......a real genuine romance.....( like those old couples have who have been married for 50 years and still very much in love.....awwww!!)
