Question

The rise of the conjugal family unit during the period of rapid industrialization elevated emotional need for love and companionship as criteria for selecting marriage partners over __________.

Answer 1

parental approval

Step-by-step explanation:

As the industrialization of societies were taking place the conjugal family unit could support themselves. Families could depend on themselves and not their extended family.

Parents approval was required so that it would be acceptable to the parents to support the son's wife. But after industrialization began this was not required.

Hence, parental approval became less important.
