Marriage, one of the most universal yet contentious institutions, has been celebrated, questioned, and redefined across cultures and centuries. But why does marriage exist at all? What purpose does it serve in the complex web of human life, and why does it elicit such varied reactions—from longing and joy to disdain and rebellion—at different stages of life?
In Love in the Age of Change the author takes readers on a profound exploration of the reasons behind the existence of marriage, weaving together biological, emotional, societal, and philosophical perspectives. This book addresses the transformations in human perception of marriage, from childhood naivety to teenage skepticism, youthful rebellion, and eventual maturity. Through this journey, it examines how human needs—both primal and evolved—shape our attitudes toward this union.
