Description
How do people decide whom to marry? In this concise summary of research, Murstein traces the history of marriage, examines the major theories of marital choice, the demographics of contemporary marital selection and the process by which it takes place. Although it presents the results of current sociological and psychological research on this topic, the book does not require a knowledge of statistics and is thus an ideal undergraduate text.
