Judge Ben B. Lindsey on Companionate Marriage

Lindsey, a pioneering legal figure who sought to modernize the institution of marriage to better suit the realities of a changing society.

By addressing the economic and psychological factors that lead to marital discord, Lindsey offers a pragmatic approach to social stability and personal happiness.
