Marriage is one of humanity’s oldest promises. It is also one of its most misunderstood institutions.For thousands of years, marriage has been described as natural, sacred, romantic, and timeless. But behind the vows lies a far more dramatic story: contracts, property, inheritance, gender power, religious authority, family strategy, sexual control, rebellion, love, violence, reform, and reinvention.A "Brief History of Marriage" takes readers on a sweeping journey from ancient Mesopotamian marriage contracts and Greek household law to Christian sacrament, coverture, child marriage, arranged unions, divorce, feminism, same-sex marriage, dating apps, and the uncertain future of commitment.This is not a sentimental history of weddings. It is the story of how societies have used marriage to organize love, sex, reproduction, wealth, legitimacy, family, and power. It asks why romantic love became central so late, why “traditional marriage” has never been as stable as we imagine, and what marriage reveals about who we are when we try to build a life with another person.Clear, provocative, global, and deeply human, this book is for readers interested in history, sociology, gender, family, culture, religion, law, and the hidden architecture of intimate life.If you have ever loved, married, divorced, questioned marriage, defended it, feared it, or wondered why one private relationship has carried so much public meaning, this book will change the way you see the institution forever.Buy "A Brief History of Marriage" today and discover the astonishing history behind humanity’s most intimate contract.TAGSmarriage history, history of marriage, family and relationships, gender and marriage, sociology of marriage, love and marriage, marriage law, arranged marriage, divorce history, feminist history, same sex marriage, anthropology of marriage, cultural history, relationship history, history of family©2026 UNITEXTO (P)2026 UNITEXTO
