Today, approximately half of all adults in the United States are unmarried, and many of them are in significant relationships that span various dimensions such as intimacy, friendship, finances, or family ties. However, the current legal framework offers limited protections to these individuals, despite the growing recognition that modern families come in diverse shapes. In response to this need, More Than Marriage presents a refreshing vision for the future of family law.

Authored by renowned family law expert John G. Culhane, this book delves into the historical evolution of legal statuses and how the pursuit of marriage equality has led to the expansion of legal recognition for various family structures. Through engaging and in-depth interviews, Culhane gives voice to the millions of Americans who are building families outside the traditional confines of marriage, whether by choice, necessity, or exclusion.

Culhane proposes an updated legal status that offers flexible and portable benefits for a diverse range of commitments and needs. He argues that this "choose your own adventure" structure more accurately reflects the many kinds of families we choose to build and provides greater equity in protecting their rights and interests.

More Than Marriage offers a comprehensive exploration of the family and a brilliant legal arrangement that has the potential to safeguard the lives of millions of adults. By challenging traditional notions of marriage and advocating for a more inclusive legal framework, this book contributes to a more equitable and inclusive society where all families can thrive.
