Both the domestic ideal and the religious ideal of the middle class played an important role in the process of English suburbanization in the 18th and the 19th Centuries. On the one hand, the middle class hoped for the separation of family from work, and women's devotion to the family and the breakaway from the city; on the other hand, they had sincere belief in the Evangelicalism. They believed that the city was full of temptations and evils, and the country was beneficial to their religious virtue. Therefore, the middle class was inclined to reside in beautiful and virtuous suburbs while working in the cities, and their domestic ideal and religious ideal became an importantly moral driving force behind modern English suburbanization.
