| Summary | "Little Stories of Married Life" by Mary Stewart Cutting is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The narratives revolve around the complexities and nuances of married life, exploring themes of love, communication, and domestic responsibilities. Each story portrays different couples, with a focus on their interactions and emotional struggles within the context of marriage, revealing both the trials and joys they experience. At the start of the collection, we meet Ethel and Henry Waring, who are on the cusp of celebrating their wedding anniversary. Ethel is eager for Henry to recall the significance of the day, which he initially forgets amidst the bustle of daily life. As the story unfolds, Ethel's longing for recognition and a romantic celebration contrasts with Henry's obliviousness, setting the stage for an exploration of unspoken expectations in their relationship. Ethel's emotional journey from disappointment to joy highlights the importance of understanding and communication in marriage, laying the groundwork for the themes that will be further developed throughout the stories in the collection.
