Happiness and Marriage
Produced by Juliet Sutherland, Sjaani and PG Proofreaders
"Happiness and Marriage" by Elizabeth Towne is a self-help book written in the early 20th century. The book explores the interplay between happiness and marital relationships, emphasizing the concepts of equality, individual growth, and the transformative power of love. Through various examples and philosophical insights, Towne aims to guide readers on how to cultivate a fulfilling and harmonious relationship, suggesting that one's mindset and emotional state play critical roles in shaping experiences in marriage. The opening of the book introduces the author's perspective on what constitutes a happy marriage, using a letter from a man named Tudor who expresses his desire to create a joyful union with his soon-to-be bride, Ada. Towne reflects on the idea of the Law of Attraction, explaining how it operates not only in the formation of relationships but also in their dynamics. She emphasizes the importance of mental images in manifesting a harmonious marriage, arguing that equality and mutual respect are essential for happiness. Through a blend of personal anecdotes and practical advice, the beginning sets the stage for a deeper exploration of love's complexities and the necessity of understanding oneself and one's partner.
