Kipling wrote "Story of the Gadsbys" before he was married. He lamented the loss of male friends, who were "lost" to family life. If you read "Puck of Pook's Hill," you will see that he also formed a family -- and it appears a happy one-- later in life.
It gives you a pretty good idea of a society that is no more (India during the colonial times) which is also worth looking at.
