What were the dynamics of marriage in the 19th century?

Cybele asked:


I know that women had few legal rights but what kind of unofficial roles did women and men have in marriage. Did women really obey their husbands? Did husbands really command their wives? Was it very different from modern marriages or essentially similar?

To what extent did courtly love exist in England during the medieval times?

lovablexox asked:


I know that English poetry and literature is filled with references to the forbidden affair, but was it simply a form of entertainment, or did courtly love actually exist on a large scale? Religion was really important to the English, so wouldn’t everything courtly love represented go against their beliefs?

HELP PLEASE!
