This is quite especially true of marriage, it being often the case thet the degree of love felt is overestimated....command to love husband ct.? 4th commandment...the retention of love, or the illusion of it serves an important economic function, and that is why it is so obstinately striven after..], 91 [ Where a dissociation in the love life persists, the subject will be compelled to center tender feelings on objects other than those of sensual desires...], 92 [ in its object it is so indissolubly connected with destructive tendencies and hostility to the object that often nothing is left of the love that makes the claim but a screen behind which these hostile tendencies fulfil themselves...], 95 [ we have never been able to isolate a special reproductive instinct...oedipus complex is heart of monogamy...the overvaluation of love...], 183 [lowered self esteem of centuries' duration...conflict of women with? vocational interests who also sought to retain femininity - sabotage their own relationships - other symptoms], 185 [inhibition in the sphere of work and accomplishment and a more or less well-marked impoverishment of interests...analysis often resulted in abandonment of work, etc concentration on men-] & 186 [fear of not being normal].
