Good that you mentioned the two families. And having 3-4 generations all right there is a big help.
Also helping are having kids if only because it creates and orders the TODO list when a baby cries or a child needs food, shoes, etc.
Also helping are well established ROLES. Both husband and wife already know in good terms what they are to do.
Also helped was the village church and the weekly services emphasizing family formation.
Also helped was village social pressure, at times really severe.
- dbt00 8y agoThere's also specific pressure creating cultural conformity; if you need to go to your mother in law when your husband is an asshole, you and your mother in law had better agree on what being an asshole is and how he should change. This creates a bias towards cultural stability but also limits unions involving social outsiders or non-traditional marriage partners.
