For Better for Worse: Should I Get Married? - exemplaire signée

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 center 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.

A tour-de-force: erudite, funny, and even wise.
--Prof Anthony Synnott, Concordia University, author of The Body Social and Re-Thinking Men

Whether or not to marry is a choice that is as mystifying as it is momentous. This book is a treasure trove of historical analysis, divergent perspectives, and vital considerations that will help you decide whether, when, how, and with whom to make the leap.
