Vingtième Siècle. Revue d'histoire - Année 1989 - Volume 22 - Numéro 1 - Pages 63-66Three marriage ages in a single century, Martine Sauzay. During the 20th century there may have been three patterns ; establishment-marriage, in which emotions can enter in conflict with the institution ; merger-marriage after 1945, which is very demanding of the couple ; post-1968 association-marriage, which unites more autonomous individuals. Feminist demands seem to have played a major role in this history of the couple. 4 pages Source : Persée ; Ministère de la jeunesse, de l’éducation nationale et de la recherche, Direction de l’enseignement supérieur, Sous-direction des bibliothèques et de la documentation.
