Marriage is an alluring yet accident-prone institution. It can begin in high spirits, but quickly tire or take a wrong turning. Over 93 per cent of Britain's population will be committed to it by the age of 50. many for the second or third time. But current research shows that contemporary marriage is under serious stress. The changing role of women. high expectations of personal fulfilment and unemployment are just some of the factors influencing its well-being. Libby Purves takes a turn around some of the awkward corners along with John Patten , mp.
Jo Richardson , Sue Slipman and others.
