Anthony Giddens, in this article, professes his idea of a Global Revolution in family and personal life.

He essentially has three ultimate goals in his article: (1) encourage a liberal view of politics, family, and personal life; (2) encourage a relationship model based on a model called the “pure relationship;” (3) provoke the thought of an emotional democracy.

The idea of sexual love and intimacy being the basis of marriage was virtually unheard of in Europe. In the traditional family, sexuality was dominated by reproduction. Fertility was the main basis and purpose for women. In many of the traditional cultures, including in Western Europe up to the twentieth century, woman might have ten or more pregnancies during the course of her life. Firstly, traditionalism is an archaic way to perceive the family and pe
