Book DescriptionNew York, NY, U.S.A.: Simon & Schuster Trade. 1995. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good in Very Good DJ. Small Ding to Fore Edge, Light Bumping to Corners, Remainder Mark. "Despite the social turmoil of recent decades, marriage as an institution has remained surprisingly constant - over 90 percent of Americans marry at least once by the age of sixty-five. No two marriages are alike, of course, and few are immune to change. In Rules of Engagement, Lis Harris gives us an engaging and provocative look at the state of modern marriages by telling the stories of four very different couples, placing their stories in the context of marriage in this country. What these very different unions have in common, says Harris, is a uniquely American quality - the willingness to experiment and invent. American marriages have often reflected social trends at large, from the days when the Puritans took marital advice from a treatise that recommended wives address their husbands as "Master," to the proliferation of laws regulating marriage during the nineteenth century, which included more liberal divorce laws as well as bans on polygamy and interracial marriages, to the changing dynamics within marriages today, including the struggle to maintain an equal partnership while juggling the demands of family and work as the two-income family becomes the norm."
