About this book
Public arguments over the future of matrimony give Maud Churton Braby her starting point. She considers why men and women hesitate to marry, why existing unions become unhappy, and how the expectations of husbands and wives can pull against each other. The book combines social commentary with proposals for reform and practical advice about living together.
Its chapters range from the age to marry and the education of girls to parenthood, family size and proposed alternatives to permanent marriage. Braby also examines infidelity, jealousy and the pressures that keep private unhappiness concealed. Her observations and generalisations make this a source for readers interested in historical debates about domestic life, especially the different standards applied to husbands and wives and the place of children in arguments for change.
