Patriarchy built marriage around women serving husbands, children and households, then convinced women getting married meant THEY had won the prize.

Transcript

Marriage was sold to women as the ultimate achievement while generations of women were expected to disappear inside of it. Be the wife. Raise the children. Maintain the home. Carry the emotional labor. Support his dreams. Keep everybody together. And somehow, SHE was supposed to feel lucky she got picked. Deconstructing patriarchy means realizing being chosen was never the prize. Having the freedom to choose the life YOU actually want is.
