Ideal Marriage (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781025503479)

"Ideal Marriage" is a pioneering study of human sexuality and marital harmony that served as a cornerstone of modern sexology. Written by the renowned physician Theodoor Hendrik van de Velde, this influential work explores the biological, psychological, and physical aspects of the marital bond. It focuses on the importance of mutual sexual satisfaction and provides detailed insights into human physiology and the art of intimacy.

Van de Velde's approach was revolutionary for its time, advocating for a healthy and fulfilling sexual relationship as the foundation of a stable marriage. The text covers a wide range of topics, including the anatomy of the reproductive organs, the mechanics of sexual intercourse, and the emotional connection between partners. By prioritizing communication and education, "Ideal Marriage" sought to dispel myths and improve the quality of domestic life.

As a significant historical document in the fields of medicine and sociology, this work offers a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of sexual attitudes in the early 20th century. It remains a testament to the enduring human quest for understanding and fulfillment within the institution of marriage.
