Description

Getting Married explores how social rules and public expectations fundamentally shape our most intimate decisions. Authors Carrie Yodanis and Sean Lauer examine the sociology of marriage from engagement through daily arrangements, revealing how external factors influence whom we choose as spouses, when we decide to marry, and how we structure our relationships. This Routledge volume uses marriage as a lens to understand broader sociological principles, demonstrating that our private romantic lives are never truly separate from social conventions. Whether investigating courtship patterns, marital behaviour, or relationship dissolution, the book challenges the notion that marriage is purely personal, instead showing how cultural norms, social expectations, and public structures constrain and shape even our most private choices. Ideal for sociology students, researchers, and anyone curious about how society influences love and commitment.

Key Features

Getting Married analyses how social rules shape relationship formation, marriage timing, and spouse selection throughout the relationship lifecycle.

Carrie Yodanis and Sean Lauer provide a sociological framework that connects public expectations to private relationship decisions and daily arrangements.

Published by Routledge, this volume combines marriage case studies with broader sociological theory, making it valuable for academic study and general readers.

The book explores relationship dissolution and changing relationship structures, examining what happens when couples navigate social expectations around separation.
