If so, how will they change? If not, why will they remain the same? • Is the husband still expected to be the head of the household? If so, explain what roles the husband will be in charge of as the head of the household. If not, explain the distribution of roles within the home. • Is the wife still the nurturer? If so, in which areas will she nurture the family? If not, define the nurturing roles each spouse will take. • Describe how your views compare with those of your parents.
