I think there are many stereotypes and assumptions when it comes to immigrants, Hispanics in general and marriage. The first stereotype mostly revolves around the idea that Hispanics have so many children and the father is usually the one who goes to work, while the mother usually does some domesticated type of work (childcare, cleaning). I am the oldest of three in my family and since the age of 11 I was raised by a single mother instead of living in a two parent household. My parent’s divorce as well as their background as a great influence when It comes to me picking out a marriage partner. For this paper, I plan on talking about how religion, familial roles, and traditions play a big part on how my expectations for dating.
