Parts of this were interesting but I‘m not enough of a history nerd. It‘s very thorough.

The author is a family studies professor. The book takes a look at the history of marriage during different times and cultures in history (though the focus, certainly for modern marriages, is on the Western world). I found this quite interesting. The book has an extensive “Notes” section at the end for those of us who also like to peruse through it for extra tidbits of information.
Been reading this on and off for months trying to finally finish it. We'll see how it goes!
