About This Book

Aimed at men, the work offers medical and practical counsel on sexual relations and the prevention of uterine and psychological suffering, arguing that companionship can be a sanitary necessity. It examines ideal timing for marriage, balances the extent of husbands’ rights against reciprocal duties, and considers whether instinct or reason should govern marital conduct. Chapters present arguments and counterarguments about divorce, advocate safeguards and considerations for women’s bodily and mental welfare, and conclude with an appendix that supplies a woman’s perspective on the earlier positions.
