Making of Marriage

Author(s):  
Elisabeth van Houts

This chapter traces the process of who arranged marriages and how they were planned, with particular attention to the role of parents and kin, kings and lords, and initiatives of the couples themselves. In the period under discussion, marital arrangements were made by parents, kin, and lords with minimal input from the couple. In fact, the legality of marriage was subject to parental consent, not the couple’s. In the course of the eleventh and twelfth centuries evidence emerged that suggests a development in thinking amongst the laity and clergy about what established a valid union. In narrative sources, such as chronicles, hagiography, and fiction, demands of young men and women for self-determination with respect to marriage were recorded. There seems to have been a gendered aspect to these emerging voices with more women than men, mostly from elite or well-to-do backgrounds, demanding a say in the choice of marriage partner.

This article describes the results of research carried out among youth for determining the perceptions of the image of the future. The image of the future is a dynamic psychological state that sets a vector of life and self-organization of individuals, and serves as the basis for projecting the development of personality and resources, essential for realization of its life path. Leaning on the analysis of existing perceptions of the image of the future suitable for youth, it was established that it relates to the perception of life as a dependent on the subject of activity, which correlates with independence, self-control, acceptance of social roles and emotional self-esteem. The author assumes that there are three key strategies in description of the image of the future for young men and women: planning, description of emotional relationships, and self-determination. The research involved total of 1,538 respondents (610 male and 928 female, aged 14-28. The classical methodology developed by I. S. Kon “Me in 5 Years” served as the main method for this study. Images of the future for young men and women contain both, different and similar strategies. Young women receiving vocational education see their future through planning, and the ones studying in high school and universities – through self-determination. Young men who study in high school and universities see their future through emotional relationships, and students of vocational education – through self-determination. This implies that namely the level of educational institution (school, university, vocational education) allows forming certain gender differences in the image of the future.

BACKGROUND: Adolescence is a period of growth and development that occurs dynamically and rapidly both physically, psychologically, intellectually, socially, and sexual behavior that is associated with the onset of puberty. Health problems in adolescence are one of the important problems in the lifecycle. One of the health problems of adolescents today is sexual conduct before marriage. This behavior is a sexual behavior that is very risky to cause unwanted pregnancy problems, and risks causing various diseases such as sexually transmitted diseases, and even HIV/AIDS. AIM: The aim of the study was to describe dating behavior and age at first having premarital sexual relations for adolescent boys in Indonesia in 2017. METHODS: This study uses data from the Indonesian Demographic Health Survey (SDKI) in 2017 with the number of male respondents who are not married aged 15–24 years as many as 12,523 person. RESULTS: The results showed that more adolescents who are dating are 7047 people (56.3%) compared to those who are dating who are as many as 5476 people (43.7%). The most age at first having sexual relations with young men is at the age of 17 years, namely, as many as 254 people (20.2%), while the age at first having sexual relations with young at least is at the age of 11 years, as many as two people (0.2%). CONCLUSION: It is suggested to the role of parents, schools, health centers, and health offices in providing information related to comprehensive reproductive health education.

Abstract Background A lot of research has been done on women and contraception. How men perceive their role regarding contraception is largely unknown. Previous research shows that factors like intentions, communication and knowledge are of importance. The aim of this study is to get more insight that could provide us with more starting points for preventing unwanted pregnancies and STDs. Methods Eight semi-structured interviews with male students from Amsterdam, The Netherlands (aged 18-25, different study programs) were conducted based on a, previously developed, topic list. Convenience sampling was used to select respondents. The interviews were processed with thematic content analysis. Open, axial, and selective coding was used to analyze the interviews. Results Four themes emerged from the data: openness of parents, making an informed decision, prevention of pregnancy and STDs and durance of relationship. Men do not have a clear view on their role in contraception regarding responsibility and are still struggling with the autonomy of their partner, also in relation to the length of the relationship. When in a relationship they feel their role should be to support and communicate with their partner, but not to make the final contraceptive choice. When not in a committed relationship, men feel their role is solely to protect themselves against fatherhood and, to a much lesser extent, STDs. Conclusions Communication is key in preventing unwanted pregnancies and STDs, and working towards a shared responsibility. Following up on the role of parents in communicating well about these subjects, both men and women should take their responsibility in communicating. Furthermore, fear of unwanted pregnancy seems much larger than fear for STDs for male students. These subjects can be addressed in a university institutional context in a variety of ways (f.i. via flyers, projects, student counselors, student health services). Key messages More attention for the role of both men and women in communicating about contraception and STDs is necessary in a student population within the university institutional context. More attention for the dangers of STDs and the importance of protection against STDs is necessary in a student population within the university institutional context.

This study explores the experiential dimensions of apprenticeship and work as part of the adolescent life phase in fourteenth-century Montpellier on the basis of approximately two hundred surviving notarial contracts. The strong role of family in apprenticeship of young men and women, the acquisition of specific occupational skills, character formation, and the well-being of the apprentice/worker are discussed. Apprenticeship for Montpellier youth represented a lengthy (early teens to late twenties) and elaborate transition between childhood and adulthood.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the importance of anaerobic metabolism as a determinant of individual differences in performance of a 1-mile run-walk (MRW). Anaerobic capacity, percentage of anaerobic capacity used during the MRW, percentage of energy used during the MRW that was supplied through anaerobic processes, aerobic metabolic determinants of distance running performance, and MRW time were measured in 26 male and 29 female young adult nonathletes. Anaerobic processes averaged 7-8% of the energy used during the MRW. In multiple regression analyses, anaerobic capacity, and a linear combination of all three anaerobic variables contributed significantly to the prediction of MRW with the effects of gender and [Formula: see text] peak held constant, but the additional variance accounted for by the anaerobic variables was relatively small (2-7%). In conclusion, anaerobic metabolism supplies only a small portion of the energy used during the MRW, and anaerobic capacity and metabolism during the MRW do not confound its interpretation as an indicator of maximal aerobic power in a heterogeneous group of young men and women of moderate fitness level. Key words: energy metabolism, oxygen deficit, physical fitness, running performance

Abstract This paper examines the determinants of sexual satisfaction among Italian young men and women at the beginning of their adulthood, taking into account the different stages of sentimental and sexual transitions. We based the analyses on the data collected in 2017 by the SELFY Survey on a sample of 7842 university students in Italy. Results of the logistic regression models highlight that, above all, sexual satisfaction is positively associated with the frequency of intercourse within a stable and exclusive relationship. Furthermore, results highlight the essential role of all transitions, sexual and sentimental, in enhancing sexual satisfaction, both in a positive and negative direction. Religion has a positive effect too, but only among students who have not yet had intercourse, expressing a protective effect of the adherence to beliefs. Significant differences between young men and women emerged mainly concerning performance, other conditions being equal.
