Résumé
An exploration of how marriage developed, and how it is likely to look in the future. Real-life experiences are presented in their wider historical context: What were a couple's alternatives to staying together? How long was the average marriage until… death ended it? What were the differences between the experiences of wealthier and poorer spouses? Abbott puts a human face on marriage as she explores its nature in the context of love, sex, loyalty, childrearing, shared finances, and social recognition. Some descriptions of sex. c2010.
