"Till Divorce Do Us Part" is designed to meet the needs of women in troubled marriages who are not prepared to face the threat of divorce. The authors explore the personal, legal, and financial factors that must be addressed by women in order for them to assess the nature of their relationships, reduce the harmful psychological effects of loss that divorcing women experience, increase the potential for their fair and equal treatment in the courts, and find the resources that can enhance their personal and professional lives after a divorce. This book will increase the potential for positive outcomes for women as they negotiate the may facets of loss thorugh separation and divorce. Women can be empowered, either as parents or single adults, to reach their fullest potential. Such empowerment, which enables women to make responsible choices, is the opposite of the intense feelings of helplessness and hopelessness that many women experience following separation and divorce. The book does not advocate divorce, but shows vividly the ways couples can assess whether there is hope for a troubled marriage and what might be done if they have not already made the decision to divorce.

Till DIVORCE do us part - Why the lack of knowledge about Jewish marriage traditions has wreaked havoc on Christian marriage

Length: 3 acts.

For centuries, people have been thinking and writing—and fiercely debating—about the meaning of marriage. Just a hundred years ago, Progressive era reformers embraced marriage not as a time-honored repository for conservative values, but as a tool for social change. In Until Choice Do Us Part, Clare Virginia Eby offers a new account of marriage as it appeared in fiction, journalism, legal decisions, scholarly work, and private correspondence at the turn into the twentieth century. She begins with reformers like sexologist Havelock Ellis, anthropologist Elsie Clews Parsons, and feminist Charlotte Perkins Gilman, who argued that spouses should be “class equals” joined by private affection, not public sanction. Then Eby guides us through the stories of three literary couples—Upton and Meta Fuller Sinclair, Theodore and Sara White Dreiser, and Neith Boyce and Hutchins Hapgood—who sought to reform marriage in their lives and in their writings, with mixed results. With this focus on the intimate side of married life, Eby views a historical moment that changed the nature of American marriage—and that continues to shape marital norms today.
