To: Frank Is it, in your view, that the source text speaks about a "statistically average" "family of a man and a woman"? If so, please, read this blog piece about "statistics" -> https://posmotre.li/Ложь,_наглая_ложь_и_статистика

And, please, don't forget Leo Tolstoy ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_Tolstoy ): "Все счастливые семьи похожи друг на друга, каждая несчастливая семья несчастлива по-своему" ( https://ilibrary.ru/text/1099/p.1/index.html ).
Oleg Lozinskiy Jul 10, 2021:
Предложенный Юрием перевод выглядит весьма привлекательным. Только в "обратном переводе" на русский данная фраза в большинстве случаев будет звучать как "В современном обществе различие между ролями мужчины и женщины в семье становится все более размытым (особенно когда речь идет о зарабатывании денег)".

А между "становится все более размытым" и "идет уравнение", на мой непросвещенный взгляд, имеется весьма существенная смысловая разница.

Мне кажется, отличный перевод, я бы только сказал making money вместо money-making.

Marriage relationships are increasingly more equal.

It is true that marriage relationships are becoming increasingly equal, but to an extent. Since the early 1900’s the stereotypical ‘housewife’ role has changed, dramatically.

Peer comment(s):

neutral Oleg Lozinskiy : Sorry, Frank, but with all due respect I don't understand the meaning of "increasingly equal". IMHO, any two measurable values (including "the roles (of men and women within a family)" - every family OR an "average" family?) may be "equal" or "not equal".

Thank you, Oleg. Perhaps this is not mathematically correct but things can tend from unequal to almost equal to truly equal. It is a literary device to signify the tendency toward equality.

Reference:

equality between the roles of men and women

I would say:
We are making all to achieve (promote, guarantee, ensure) equality between the roles of men and women in today's society.
Or
equality between the roles of men and women has become the top of agenda (urgent issue) in today's society.

Equality is the same status, rights, and responsibilities for all the members of a society, group, or family.

neutral Oleg Lozinskiy : А не следует ли использовать общераспространенный термин современного дискурса, а именно: "gender equality"? Хотя с другой стороны количество "гендеров" сейчас увеличивается экспоненциально, а в исходнике речь идет о семье мужчины и женщины.
