""2 Note that while the woman's archetypal image is of numerous different men, the man's image is of one ideal woman. This results in a great overvaluation of his wife. She becomes an idol, and must live up to her husband's impossible standards in order to gain his love. A man does not love his wife for who she is; rather, he loves his archetypal image of what she should be. Therefore, no matter what she does, his wife will never live up to his impossible standards.
Regarding the institution of marriage, Nietzsche, Freud, and Jung all agree that it disadvantages women in many ways. For one thing, as Nietzsche states, marriage simply cannot endure due to the fact that its vows are made based on a love that may or may not endure. Regardless, numerous people get married each day. However, society has taken it upon itself to keep young women as sexually ignorant as possible, while at the same time expecting them to know exactly what to do when they finally do enter marriage. If, by chance, a woman does enter a marriage knowing a little about sex, she is considered wicked. Nietzsche states: "All the world is agreed to educate them with as much ignorance as possible in erotics, and to inspire their soul with a profound shame of such things -3 Freud goes on to argue that since society teaches us to practice abstinence until marriage, the male anxiously awaits the day when he will finally be satisfied sexually. However, when that day comes he finds that his wife knows nothing at all about intimacy. Therefore, he is disappointed. Freud states: "the preparation for marriage frustrates the aims of marriage itself."" (Freud 175) When this disappointment in marriage occurs, the male often times looks other places (to other people) for sexual satisfaction. But, "the more strictly a woman has been brought up and the more sternly she has submitted to the demands of civilization, the more she is afraid of taking this way out - (Freud 173-4) This is the classic double standard in love, as explained by Nietzsche.
