Was there an ideal marriage relationship in Central Europe?

It can hardly be called an ideal relationship when the husband does not trust his wife, showing it in every possible way. In particular, husbands-knights, going on long hikes, left chastity belts on their wives. They also responded with often clever hacking tricks with the help of inventive lovers.

In general, up to the 18th century, there was no dominance of Puritan customs in Europe. This is exactly the notion of the enlightened Victorian era, when the British seemed to want to stand out not only in the military and economic sphere, but also to show that they are different in spirit.

As proof, you can view the originals of the Brothers Grimm fairy tales, which are saturated with sex, blood and murder.
