Cultural myths about marriage are often linked with common beliefs about gender roles. These myths often portray marriage as a union between a man and a woman, with the man as the head of the household and the woman as the homemaker. This reinforces the idea that men should be the breadwinners and women should be the caregivers. These myths also often portray the husband as the dominant partner in the relationship, while the wife is expected to be submissive and obedient. These beliefs can lead to gender inequality and can limit the opportunities available to both men and women.
