Marriage Sociology

When Jilly Cooper was asked to write a book on marriage, she had been married to Leo Cooper for a mere seven years. Now they are celebrating their Golden Wedding, and although the institution of marriage has changed a great deal since this book was first written, much of Jilly's advice – frank, fearless, often hilarious, but always wise – still holds good. From the wedding and the honeymoon to life afterwards, including how to deal with the in-laws and how to tell if you spouse is having an affair....

En una narrativa psicoanalítica, el texto explora cómo durante esas más de veinte centurias ha persistido una estructura psíquica patriarcal que, empeñada en considerar a las mujeres como criaturas insignificantes, configura una sexualidad masculina que casi siempre culmina en la infidelidad.

Die Autorin Ellen Key (1849-1926) war eine schwedische Reformpädagogin und Schriftstellerin. Sie entwickelte einen ausgeprägten Freiheits- und Gerechtigkeitssinn. Im Jahr 1869 erschienen erste Artikel von ihr in einer damals sehr renommierten Frauenzeitschrift, obwohl Ellen Key erst 20 Jahre alt war. Ab 1875 unterwies sie an einer Art Volkshochschule junge Damen in Geschichte und Literatur. Ihr Engagement für Frauen- und Kinderrechte verstärkte sich. Sie sprach häufig vor Arbeiter- und Frauenvereinen. Sie wurde 1885 Vizepräsidentin einer Stiftung für intellektuell und künstlerisch arbeitende Frauen.

When did “parenting” become a verb? Why is it so hard to parent, and so rife with the possibility of failure? Sitcom families of the past—the Cleavers, the Bradys, the Conners—didn’t seem to lose any sleep about their parenting methods. Today, parents are likely to be up late, doomscrolling on parenting websites. In Long Days, Short Years, Andrew Bomback—physician, writer, and father of three young children—looks at why it can be so much fun to be a parent but, at the same time, so frustrating and difficult to parent.

Le discriminazioni e la violenza contro le donne e le persone omosessuali e transessuali sono oggi, almeno a parole, unanimemente condannate in Italia. Una frattura profonda divide invece il Paese quando si discute dei mezzi per combattere questi mali. Al centro del durissimo dibattito c'è la cosiddetta "teoria del gender". Da un lato, i sostenitori sentono tutta l'ingiustizia di una società in cui una persona può ancora essere considerata inferiore a causa del proprio diverso orientamento sessuale, del proprio sesso, della propria identità di genere.

All too often we rely on our own thoughts to provide us with the answers to the very tough questions in life. Why not start asking some of the experts for their own takes on what is right and what is wrong when it comes to the big questions like marriage? Marital advice is critical to better understanding how to repair a marriage that appears to be on the skids. Consider consulting some marital-advice literature if you are interested in sparing your marriage.

"Med denne bog har vi ikke ønsket at tage stilling til, om det er bedst at leve i et parforhold eller leve alene. Men flere og flere lever faktisk alene. Nogle synes, det er meget svært, og nogle synes, at det åbner nye døre. Men under alle omstændigheder er det en ny livsform - ny både i samfundsmæssig henseende og for det enkelte menneske." Psykologerne Lone Spanheimer og Niels Bjerre Andersen har hjulpet mange mennesker med at tackle de udfordringer, der kan være ved at leve alene.

We face a crisis of sexuality. During the last few years, we have witnessed an unprecedented breakdown of traditions and mores concerning sexuality and the family. Countries across the West have suddenly and seemingly irrevocably instituted same-sex marriage; a former athlete has won awards for publicly changing gender; and no one seems to know what restroom to use any more. What used to be taboo and frowned upon has become normal and even encouraged. What used to be normal and sought after is now viewed as unnecessary and possibly harmful.

Henry Stanton’s 1922 book Sex: Avoided Subjects Discussed in Plain English is intended as a frank (although consevative and moralistic) guide to human sexual behaviour and relationships. It is partly a self-help book, partly an attempt to relay the scientific knowledge of the day in relation to sex and reproduction in a way suitable for popular consumption.

In Modern Families, Joshua Gamson brings us extraordinary family creation tales - his own included - that illuminate this changing world of contemporary kinship. Combining personal memoir and ethnographic storytelling, Modern Families tells a variety of unconventional family-creation tales - adoption and assisted reproduction, gay and straight parents, coupled and single, and multi-parent families - set against the social, legal, and economic contexts in which they were made.

The legality of same-sex marriage in the United States is a contentious subject. In the past few years the pro-marriage side has made a lot of progress, with the same-sex marriage states now numbering 35. The same-sex marriage debate polarizes opinion, and both sides have many supporters in the U.S.

Weddings are bound to be fun for the couple and close relatives, but to make it really memorable and equally fun for other guests you have to put in a little extra effort. To make your wedding the best ever not only for the couple but for the guests, too, you need to think differently and step out of the "it's my day" mentality. One of the basics of planning a wedding is to keep the guests in mind while keeping in check how much you spend on the preparations.

Moving in with your man is a brave step: girls, arm yourselves with an air freshener and the number of a good electrician. This cohabitation handbook will prepare you for - and help you tackle - every irksome habit, such as chore-induced narcolepsy, things under the bed that a girl should never see, and a far from professional command with a drill.

Lads, lay your claim to the remote control and reserve some fridge space. Now that you're moving in together, there are a few things you should know. This must-have manual will help you work out which parts of the house are yours, why you can no longer cut your toenails in bed, and why sharing bills will cost you more.
