Why do we STILL get married?
We can live together – cohabit. Or we can live apart but have some kind of commitment, or understanding, or arrangement. There are so many options for people in relationships today.
Why do we need the stamp of marriage?
Take this unexpected and eye-popping journey through the history of marriage and discover why people around the globe have said – and continue to say - “I do!”
Award winning historian Elizabeth Abbott looks at some of our strangest customs: from babies being betrothed, to couples marrying themselves to people marrying others who aren’t even alive.
You’ll never look at marriage the same way again!
