Love Me Did: A History of Courtship

This podcast, Love Me Did: A History of Courtship, from "BackStory with the American History Guys, reminded a very good friend of mine to share it with me while discussing, Committed by Elizabeth Gilbert. Btw... I finished it a few (?) weeks ago and quite enjoyed it. I found it's (marriage/commitment) history quite interesting.

If some of the following might intrigue you, you might want to check this out. Obviously the book is more involved, but thought I'd share.

• There was classified dating back in the 18th century.
• Date- came from prostitution.
• Find out what "bundling" is.
• Most marriages were born from a pregnancy.
• Back in the day Christianity looked down upon marriage.
• How going steady happened.
