How do couples get together? How do people act when theyâ€™re married? What happens when theyâ€™re not? Public factors influence our private relationships. From getting engaged to breaking up, social rules and expectations shape and constrain whom we select as a spouse, when and why we decide to get married, and how we arrange our relationships day to day. While this book is about marriage, it is also about sociology.

Yodanis and Lauer use the case of marriage to explore a sociological perspective.

Getting Married will bring together studentsâ€™ academic and social worlds by applying sociology to the things they are thinking about and experiencing outside of the classroom.

This book is a useful tool for many sociology courses, including those on family, gender, and introduction to sociology.
