Individuals rely on marriage for  its legal protections and social legitimacy, yet many simultaneously challenge or  queer its assumptions about monogamy, gender roles, and sexual identity. Through  analyses of legal decision-making, naming practices, nonmonogamy, and LGBTQ+  identities, the book reveals how marriage continues to regulate relationships even as  people attempt to reshape it from within. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Ultimately, the book contends that the future of marriage depends not on preserving  tradition, but on recognizing and legitimizing diverse forms of intimacy, care, and  kinship that extend beyond its conventional boundaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDaniel Bartholomay \u003c\/b\u003eis Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of North Dakota.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e07 January 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781666950540\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e176\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51515374108812,"sku":"9781666950540","price":108.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_3af318b7-9420-44ec-ad14-0829a41c131a.jpg?v=1786502863","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781666950540","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
