Summary "The Myth in Marriage" by Alice Hubbard is a philosophical exploration of the institution of marriage, written in the early 20th century. This book discusses the various dimensions of marital relationships, including the interplay between romance and the practical realities of shared life. It seeks to illuminate the often-overlooked aspects of marriage, presenting it as a complex partnership that demands understanding beyond the romantic idealism associated with it. In "The Myth in Marriage," Hubbard presents a critical analysis of the institution, arguing that many enter into marriage with unrealistic expectations driven by societal norms and romantic ideals. The text delves into the business aspects of marriage, emphasizing the responsibilities and economic realities that couples face after the initial romance fades. Hubbard also critiques the traditional roles and dependencies created within marriage, advocating for the recognition of individuality and mutual respect. Throughout the book, she makes a case for the need for both partners to maintain their economic independence and personal identity to ensure a healthy and lasting relationship, ultimately calling for a transformation in how society views marriage as a partnership grounded in both love and practicality.
