Through a series of narratives, the book explores complex themes surrounding love, duty, and the struggles faced by couples, delving into the psychological and social implications of marriage in a patriarchal society. The opening of "Married" sets the stage for the exploration of familial relationships and personal development, particularly through the lens of young Theodore Wennerstroem. The narrative begins with an intimate portrayal of his relationship with his mother, who imparts wisdom and warnings about life's temptations as he navigates the loss of her presence. This deep, emotional connection shapes Theodore's character, indicating his struggle with societal expectations, sexual awakening, and personal autonomy. His experiences in the garden and encounters with the gardener's daughter hint at his contrasting desires to embrace life and adhere to the constraints imposed by society, ultimately serving to introduce the multifaceted experiences and conflicts that arise from the institution of marriage.
