What does marriage truly mean — and can it survive the modern world? In The Future of Marriage, pioneering sociologist Jessie Bernard delivers a groundbreaking and unflinching examination of the institution of marriage, arguing that it is experienced in fundamentally different ways by men and women. Drawing on decades of sociological research, Bernard presents the now-iconic thesis that within every marriage there are actually two marriages — his and hers — and that these two realities are far from equal, often to the detriment of women's mental and physical health. A landmark work in feminist sociology, The Future of Marriage reshaped academic and popular discourse around gender, partnership, and domestic life. Bernard's style is incisive and authoritative, weaving empirical data with penetrating social critique to dismantle long-held assumptions about companionship and wedlock. Decades after its initial publication, her analysis remains disturbingly relevant — leaving the reader to wonder whether the institution of marriage has truly changed, or simply learned to disguise its imbalances more effectively.
