For Better For Worse: Should I Get Married?
Acheron Press (Verlag)
978-0-9929127-7-2 (ISBN)
For Better For
Worse examines the institution
of marriage in history and contemporary culture, along with kin concepts such
as romantic love, sexuality, and family. Drawing upon several fields of
inquiry, it sets out as neither pro- nor anti-marriage, but seeks instead to
investigate an institution that has long been at the centre of society, and
that we tend to take for granted despite its defining impact on almost all aspects
of our lives. Whether or not to tie, untie, or retie the knot is a question
that we each have to answer for ourselves, and this book aims no higher than to
frame and inform our deliberation.
