Despite being banned in the United States and receiving scorn from the British establishment, Married Love or Love in Marriage sparked controversy due to its frank discussion of sex and the use of contraceptives between husbands and wives. While it may seem relatively conservative by modern standards, this pioneering work remains an essential and bestselling guide that has shaped generations of men and women in cultivating happy and healthy sexual relationships while minimizing the stresses associated with motherhood and everyday life. In today's increasingly demanding world, the need for happy homes is more pressing than ever. It is my sincere hope that this book will contribute to the well-being of the State by increasing the number of such households. Its primary objective is to enhance the pleasures of marriage and demonstrate how significant sorrow can be avoided. Working towards this goal, Marie Stopes embarked on a mission to rewrite the rules governing sexual relationships between married couples. Published in the same year that she established the first birth control clinic in the United Kingdom, Married Love or Love in Marriage pursued the thesis that desire and happiness could be fostered within the home through education on the use of contraceptives. The book achieved immediate success and marked a seismic shift in discourse on women's reproductive health, paving the way for many of the reforms and attitudes that we now take for granted. Despite risking her reputation and abandoning a successful career in paleobotany, Stopes dedicated herself to the rights of women in England and around the world, recognizing the burdensome nature of motherhood that often compromised their physical and mental well-being. This edition of Marie Stopes' Married Love or Love in Marriage presents the original text in a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, preserving the legacy of this influential work for future generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 222g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 132 x 209 x 14 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781513134574\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marie Stopes","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44098839740666,"sku":"9781513134574","price":6.18,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1669984861338_book.jpg?v=1670313632","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/married-love-or-love-in-marriage-9781513134574","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
