How did the notion of romantic love, a novelty in the Middle Ages, become a prerequisite for marriage today? And, if the original purpose of marriage was procreation, what exactly is the purpose of marriage for women now? \u003c\/p\u003eCombining \"a scholar's rigor and a storyteller's craft\"(\u003cem\u003eSan Jose Mercury News\u003c\/em\u003e), distinguished cultural historian Marilyn Yalom charts the evolution of marriage in the Judeo Christian world through the centuries and shows how radically our ideas about marriage have changed.
