According to Adler, the ideal of modern love did not exist until women were emancipated from their social and economic shackles; it is a dyad
of equal partners. From this perspective, many of the early writings of poets and philosophers about love are for the most part "nonsense."
The decision to marry, from both partners, ought to spring from a mutual striving for humaneness.
