Robert C. Binkley and Frances W. Binkley, What is Right with Marriage: An
Outline of Domestic Theory (New York: D. Appleton, 1929)

What is Right with Marriage began as a sort of academic joke: an attempt to
apply every social science theory at once (sociological, economic and
political) to the micro-society of the modern married couple. Bob described
it to a friend:

All in the course of a few months we have achieved a book, a new job, a trip
abroad and a baby. The book was one that began as a joke at Stanford, and
eventually became a more serious pastime. It is, like the baby, a joint
product, signed by Frances and myself, and baptised (by the publisher) "What
is right with Marriage."

What it turned into was an essay attempting to define the personal space
which the aggregating theories cannot explain, to develop what the Binkleys
called "domestic theory". The book was a contribution to the 1920s debate on
marriage which followed first-wave feminism. The Binkleys felt the time was
ripe for this debate: "A greater number of genuinely useful books on
marriage have been published since 1920 than were published in the preceding
century." (p.16) The book was not a great commercial success, but it did
sell and was reviewed; and the advance financed the Binkleys' trip to Italy
in the summer of 1929.
