About this book

Marriage, a History: From Obedience to Intimacy, or How Love Conquered Marriage by Coontz, Stephanie. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780670034079.

A historical analysis of the traditional institution of marriage traces its role as a practice designed to acquire favorable in-laws and improve a familys labor force, detailing how marriages have evolved from loveless, arranged unions to their present-day state, in an exposé that reveals the impact of Victorian-inspired marital intimacy, divorce, and alternative lifestyles.
