Download or read book Marriage written by Elizabeth Fox-Genovese and published by Intercollegiate Studies Institute. This book was released on 2008 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, which she was in the midst of preparing for publication at the time of her passing, Fox-Genovese argues that marriage is disintegrating under the rising demands that it serve not the good of the whole but the desires of the individual. A union that at one point was used to limit individual "rights" is now claimed as one right among many. The sexual liberation movements of the last forty years have seriously undermined marriage, argues Fox-Genovese, so much so that the institution seems to face the threat of extinction.
