I gotta get out more

I am going to try and make an argument that we have canonical evidence that Mr. and Mrs. Bennet have a decent sex life. We have that quote that says they tried for a boy long after Lydia, however, I think it's also telling that Mrs. Bennet does not seem to understand how much her husband dislikes her. I think it makes total sense for her to think something like, "Well he still comes to my bedchamber at night, therefore it must be fine." I think she'd be worried if he stopped. But then again, maybe she would just think they were getting old...

-5 surviving kids in 8 years -faithful husband -the only compliment Mr Bennet pays her is she's "still a handsome woman" -knowing she's not smart or rich or even a gentlewoman, so there had to be something that drew him to her enough to marry down

Also your tags! #although I am now caught by your idea that she measures happiness in marriage based on bedsport or security#no wonder she's like#eh lydia will be fine look at her husband#I like to imagine Mrs Bennet is really good with double entendres#and Mr Bennet thought she was witty#until he learned it's really only that she has sex jokes

Anne Elliot was living in an aristocratic world of stagnation, where everyone does things the way they've always been done. Then she had to leave that life and discovered a new, changing world, where you're not just defined by your family or your good looks but by your character and actions, and her stale, meaningless life gained color and worth and purpose. The old life is dying, but that's a good thing, because it means a new, better life can begin. That's true for both Anne Elliot and all of England--they need to let go of the old ways and embrace change so they can truly live.
