Project Gutenberg 2012-07-11 Public domain in the USA. 80 Carpenter, Edward 1844 1929 Marriage in Free Society Produced by David Widger "Marriage in Free Society" by Edward Carpenter is a philosophical treatise examining the institution of marriage, written during the late 19th century. The book delves into the complexities and societal implications of marriage, particularly focusing on the roles of both men and women, and how these roles have been historically shaped. Carpenter critiques traditional marriage norms and suggests that true love and companionship should be at the core of marital relationships rather than mere social convention or legal obligation. In this work, Carpenter explores various aspects of marriage, including the differences in upbringing and societal expectations of men and women, which often lead to misunderstandings and discontentment in marital relationships. He discusses the ignorance surrounding sexual matters that many couples face, as well as the detrimental effects of societal pressure on personal relationships. Throughout the book, Carpenter advocates for more freedom and understanding in marriage, proposing that it should be a union based on love, trust, and mutual respect, free from the constraints of rigid social norms and outdated legal frameworks. Ultimately, he envisions a future where marriage is a more natural and deeply fulfilling connection that fosters true equality between partners.
