Kleinhans in Landy

"In the bourgeoisie era, the family becomes the central area of personal life, a respite from productive life, from the alienated labor most workers must face."

The author begins the chapter discussing the modern failings of marriage (and that most marriages end in divorce, separation, etc.); however backtracks to discuss the domestic melodrama. Seeing that the vision of marriage has changed quite dramatically since this time, I would like to discuss the evolution of the domestic melodrama. How is it portrayed differently? (i.e. Friends with Benefits, No Strings Attached, movies with live in relationships that reject the ideals of a traditional relationship.)
