The month of June gets its name from Juno, the Roman goddess of
marriage. This could be part of the reason why June continues to be
the most popular month to get married. In this hour of BackStory,
we look at how generations of Americans have defined and redefined
marriage. We explore the surprising 20th century origins of
marriage counseling, as well as a panic over child brides that
swept the nation in the late 1930s. The Guys take a look at how the
experience of marriage changed for enslaved people after
Emancipation. And we visit a modern-day wedding in Elkton, MD — the
former get-hitched-quick capital of America.
