It was when marriage moved into the emotional sphere in the nineteenth century, she argues, that it suffered as an institution just as it began to thrive as a personal relationship. This enlightening and hugely entertaining book brings intelligence, perspective, and wit to today’s marital debate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781101118252\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e ePub\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e en\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Coontz, Stephanie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46695103725723,"sku":"9780143036678","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0643\/2787\/6763\/files\/644323482580.jpg?v=1750203193","url":"https:\/\/thebannedbook.shop\/products\/marriage-a-history-how-love-conquered-marriage","provider":"The Banned Book Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
