Working with the depictions of marriage in two different shows we’ve watched(i.e. I Love Lucy, The Dick Van Dyke Show, or Mixed-ish), do we find the connections between gender and authority/power remain essentially stable or do the connections shift over time so that who holds power and the way(s) that power is expressed change?

Working with the depictions of marriage in two different shows we’ve watched(i.e. I Love Lucy, The Dick Van Dyke Show, or Mixed-ish), do we find the connections between gender and authority/power remain essentially stable or do the connections shift over time so that who holds power and the way(s) that power is expressed change?
