Description

Marriage Matters by Janice Shaw Crouse explores marriage as a critical foundation for free societies, with particular focus on how vulnerable communities including minorities and the poor suffer most from declining marriage rates. Crouse argues persuasively that marriage serves the public interest and advocates for laws and policies that strengthen rather than weaken it. This Routledge publication presents a thorough examination of both the private benefits and public significance of marriage, organised through a logical and thoughtful framework. The book demonstrates why marriage outperforms other household arrangements and offers a nuanced perspective on how modern society can better support this institution. Ideal for readers interested in sociology, social policy, and the intersection of personal relationships with broader societal structures.

Key Features

Janice Shaw Crouse provides evidence that marriage advances both private wellbeing and public interest in this Routledge-published analysis.

The book examines how vulnerable communities and economically disadvantaged populations are disproportionately affected by reduced marriage rates.

Marriage Matters presents a logical argument organised to demonstrate why marriage surpasses alternative household arrangements.

Crouse advocates for policy reforms that support marriage rather than undermine it within modern legal frameworks.

This sociology and social sciences focused work addresses the intersection of personal relationships with broader societal welfare and governance.
