Item description from seller

First Edition, First Printing; 375 clean, unmarked page/indexs; dj in mylar; From 1650 to 1800 in England, notions about marriage underwent significant change. The new model that arose--the companionate ideal--emphasized a couple's compatibility in age, temperament, and background and celebrated the husband and wife as affectionate friends, lovers, and parents. The companionate ideal became a central feature in what some historians see as the emergence of the nuclear family and the rise of domesticity.
