Contemporary Sociology of Marriage and Family

"Contemporary Sociology of Marriage and Family" introduces family life through a sociological lens. The book examines theoretical perspectives and diverse family forms, using an intersectional framework to explore how gender, race, social class, and sexuality shape family experiences and inequalities. Later chapters examine attraction, love, relationship formation, marriage, childfree lives, pathways to parenthood, and parenting, as well as family violence, divorce, and remarriage.
