Show #007: History of Mail Order Brides and Marriage in the United States

Original Broadcast Date: October 8th, 2009

In this recorded video (from live), host John Adams and guests discuss the history of mail order brides and the ever changing culture of marriage in the United States and abroad.

Why does the stigma of the term "Mail Order Brides" continue to fester into the 21st century, hundreds of years after it was coined?

And how has the culture of marriage in the United States changed - or remained the same?

John gets some very interesting points on the table and meets them head on. (1 hr 09 min)
