Love, Not Merely Sex?

In the introduction it was mentioned that this book is about "Love, Not Merely Sex" (9). After reading the play in some ways I do agree with this. Granted it all takes place in 24 hours to maybe after a longer period of time this would not be true, but based on what happened in this 24 hours it seems as though the men would have remained loyal to their wives and would not have cheated on them even though they practicing abstinence. You know what I mean? Like the men never showed interest in any one other than their own wife. So maybe that says something about love? Because today that might not have been the case. Maybe the men just didn't have any opportunities to cheat in the book because it was something being practiced by majority of the women. Or maybe they did and they just really loved their wives. Anyway I suppose that is a good example of how much the husbands loved their wives, because I mean they were really desperate but their eyes didn't seem to wonder over the course of the play. The women were somewhat worried about the young girl being around their husbands though so maybe if the play would have been over a long period of time things would have went differently. And maybe it would have become less about love and more about sex because of the mens desperation.
