By the end of World War I, the skyrocketing divorce rate in the
United States had generated a deep-seated anxiety about marriage.
This fear drove middle-class couples to seek advice, both
professional and popular, in order to strengthen their
relationships. In Making Marriage Work, historian Kristin Celello
offers an insightful and wide-ranging account of marriage and
divorce in America in the twentieth century, focusing on the
development of the idea of marriage as ""work."" Throughout,
Celello illuminates the interaction of marriage and divorce over
the century and reveals how the idea that marriage requires work
became part of Americans' collective consciousness.
