marriage
In 50 years or so the biggest change would probably have to be gay/lesbian marriage. Fifty years is a long time and gay marriage should be approved by then. Also by the next 50 years, I also believe that we will slowly lose cultural trends. I would predict that the changes in marriage will also depend upon the cultural value and beliefs. Most of the young people now a days just live together without getting married ever in life. There is usually like a rule and superstition and all that about living together before marriage but those beliefs has passed since kids are young and naive. The cultural values and beliefs that parents will tell their children will make a huge impact on how their generation will respond to the marriage rituals and kids just have to listen or go with what they believe but thats on them if their marriage fails. In fifty years cultural probably wouldn't matter because kids won't bring on their old traditions, they can and will probably start new ones. America is a melting pot so we will come together since the influences in all the cultures had made us be more connected.

Really great post! I definitely agree that gay/lesbian marriage will change in the upcoming 50 years. I can also see the big change in living with someone before you are married. It seems that the youth of today finds this to be okay and normal. I think that the youth is also creating their own traditions like you said and not necessarily following their parents. This generation seems to be a more accepting and diverse one than the past generations. It seems that the United States especially is more open to diversity because we are a very culturally different nation.
