Summary

The new edition of the popular Sex and Love in the Home challenges those accounts of marriage that treat the interpersonal aspects of marriage apart from economic and political questions, and proposes that marriage and family flourish when part of an interdependent network of households in community. The new edition includes new discussions arranged around a model of the ôimperfectö family unit. The concept of ôliving together,ö what happens when families adopt, same-sex marriage and relationships, as well as long-term care for the ill within the home are all discussed.
