世俗精神,即强调入世的市民生活伦理,在近代化转型时期的意大利,对传统的婚姻伦理观念造成很大冲击。市民的私生活相对混乱,导致严重的社会问题。妇女普遍早婚,老夫少妻居多。而随着精英妇女逐渐参与政治文化活动,男女尤其妇女初婚年龄上升,夫妻年龄差缩小。到18世纪,晚婚晚育才成为意大利婚姻模式的主流。 The secular spirit, that is, the citizen’s life ethics emphasizing the accession to the WTO, has had a great impact on the traditional concept of marriage ethics during the period of modern transformation. Citizens’ private lives are relatively chaotic and lead to serious social problems. Women generally marry early, old husband and wife mostly. With the gradual participation of elite women in political and cultural activities, the age of first marriage of women and men, especially of women, has increased and the age of husband and wife has narrowed. By the 18th century, late marriage and childbearing became the mainstream of the Italian marriage model.
