Foreword

One of mankind's most basic, most important institutions is marriage. Yet today, at least in the United States, matrimony is crisis-ridden at best, seemingly in a state of near-collapse at worst. The malaise chiefly affects couples in their twenties, products of the post-World War II baby boom, growing up during the Korean War and the dozen years of conflict in Vietnam, their disintegrating relations of a reflection of unstable times.

Jean is young, attractive, and married to an ambitious man, yet is unable to communicate with her husband at the most basic level and is driven to seek a false love, a compromise, in the arms of strangers, thus degrading and demeaning herself.

THE WIFE'S NEW LOVERS-a story of an individual in an uncaring society, a portrayal of an affliction that plagues many American marriages.
