  Abstract:  Conjugal Roles – Between Tradition and Modernity. The family has been, and is still, of great political and scientific interest. With the family as the object of research, knowledge of changes in family size, duration, functions and the job sharing between men and women has been produced. The family as an object of study has resulted in a biased focus on change, variation and instability. A critical analysis reveals that by this bias research has reinforced existing trends in our society, and subsequently the stability and durability characterizing everyday family life remain hidden features. This does, however, not mean than family life is static and unchanged over time. In what follows, we will try to use different approaches to identify the main factors which determinate the transformation process from traditional to modern, concerning conjugal life.
