Diablo Unitarian Church, given on March 22, 1964.

In this talk, sponsored by the Mt. Diablo Unitarian Church, Dr. Neighbor analyzes the role which men play in the marriage in America, examines the social factors that affect marriage, and catalogs types of neurotic needs both men and women are attempting to fulfill through marriage."
