| Summary | "Married Life; or, The True Romance" by May Edginton is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book centers around the lives of young couple Marie and Osborn Kerr as they prepare for and navigate the realities of marriage. Through the lens of their anticipation, dreams, and the stark differences between romantic expectations and domestic realities, the narrative explores themes of love, disillusionment, and the complexity of modern relationships. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Marie, who is eagerly preparing her trousseau for her upcoming wedding to Osborn. Alongside her friend Julia, who holds a more pragmatic view of marriage, Marie's excitement contrasts sharply with Julia's skepticism about the domestic burdens of married life. As Marie dreams of a fairytale marriage, Julia highlights the everyday challenges that await them. Their initial conversations are laced with humor and insight, foreshadowing the struggles Marie will face as she transitions from the carefree life of a single woman to the responsibilities of a wife. The chapters deftly illustrate the vibrant hopes and naive illusions of youth against the somber realities of marital duties, laying the groundwork for the personal growth of the characters as they embark on their shared life together.
