The History of Marriage and Divorce: Everything You Need to Know
Marriage rituals and divorce procedures have varied widely over time and across cultures. The History of Marriage and Divorce explores the evolution of these two institutions, from our early hunter-gatherer ancestors through antiquity and the middle ages up to modern times.
In this book, collaborative attorney and former psychology professor Harry L. Munsinger explains the legal, economic, religious, evolutionary, and psychological issues involved in mating and divorcing. This book will give readers insight into why humans marry, divorce, and remarry with such irrational abandon. The reader will discover that the tendency to marry and divorce are partly inherited and the personal and genetic appeal of serial monogamy.

About the author
Harry L. Munsinger
7 books2 followersFollowing a career as a psychology professor at UC-San Diego, clinical psychologist, and Family and Estate Law attorney, I retired to devote full time to writing--a lifelong interest and passion.
I have enjoyed writing all my life because it allows me to organize my thoughts and share them with others. I am curious and I enjoy researching for my books. I wrote textbooks when I was teaching college psychology and now am writing non-fiction books. My previous books have been about divorce, the history of marriage and divorce, inheritance law, biographies of important leaders in American history, and medical miracles throughout history. I'm currently writing a book about famous inventions and their inventors, with a publishing date in 2023.
My greatest joy is being with my grandchildren and watching them grow.
