Many of those are in significant relationships--some intimate, others based in friendship, finances, or family ties--but the law offers them few protections. Amid the growing recognition that modern families take all shapes, \u003ci\u003eMore Than Marriage\u003c\/i\u003e presents a refreshing vision for the future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With this book, noted family-law expert John G. Culhane takes us on a guided tour of how the march toward marriage equality spun off a number of other legal statuses, and explores how the law has expanded and where it falls short. This lively living history is grounded in relatable, in-depth interviews that give voice to the millions of Americans building family structures outside the protections 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. As \u003ci\u003eMore Than Marriage\u003c\/i\u003e shows, this \"choose your own adventure\" structure more accurately reflects, and more equitably protects, the many kinds of families we choose to build.\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe are all too in love with the idea of marriage. What if, asks John Culhane in this provocative new book, marriage were not the ceiling but the floor; not the single North Star of every committed relationship, but one of an array of legal arrangements that could better serve families, allocate benefits, and protect and honor love? Culhane here urges us to think more capaciously about love and how to protect and foster it for more of us, more deeply, going forward.--Dahlia Lithwick, senior editor at \u003ci\u003eSlate\u003c\/i\u003e and host of the podcast \u003ci\u003eAmicus\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Culhane has written an incredibly important book on how to recognize the diversity of relationships in today's culture.

Through a masterful synthesis of history, legal analysis, and narrative, he makes sense of the proliferation of alternatives to marriage, diagnoses their shortcomings, and proposes solutions to bring us closer to true marriage--and nonmarriage--equality.\"--Kaiponanea Matsumura, Professor and William M.
