Book Description
Until very recently, no society had seen marriage as anything other than a conjugal partnership: a male–female union. What Is Marriage? identifies and defends the reasons for this historic consensus and shows why redefining civil marriage as something other than the conjugal union of husband and wife is a mistake. Originally published in the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy, this book’s core argument quickly became the year’s most widely read essay on the most prominent scholarly network in the social sciences. Since then, it has been cited and debated by scholars and activists throughout the world as the most formidable defense of the tradition ever written. Now revamped, expanded, and vastly enhanced, What Is Marriage? stands poised to meet its moment as few books of this generation have. Sherif Girgis, Ryan T. Anderson, and Robert P. George offer a devastating critique of the idea that equality requires redefining marriage. They show why both sides must first answer the question of what marriage really is. They defend the principle that marriage, as a comprehensive union of mind and body ordered to family life, unites a man and a woman as husband and wife, and they document the social value of applying this principle in law. Most compellingly, they show that those who embrace same-sex civil marriage leave no firm ground—none—for not recognizing every relationship describable in polite English, including polyamorous sexual unions, and that enshrining their view would further erode the norms of marriage, and hence the common good. Finally, What Is Marriage? decisively answers common objections: that the historic view is rooted in bigotry, like laws forbidding interracial marriage; that it is callous to people’s needs; that it can’t show the harm of recognizing same-sex couplings or the point of recognizing infertile ones; and that it treats a mere “social construct” as if it were natural or an unreasoned religious view as if it were rational.

Book Description
“After years of debate and inquiry, the key to a great marriage remained shrouded in mystery. Until now...”—Carol Dweck, author of Mindset: The New Psychology of Success Eli J. Finkel's insightful and ground-breaking investigation of marriage clearly shows that the best marriages today are better than the best marriages of earlier eras. Indeed, they are the best marriages the world has ever known. He presents his findings here for the first time in this lucid, inspiring guide to modern marital bliss. The All-or-Nothing Marriage reverse engineers fulfilling marriages—from the “traditional” to the utterly nontraditional—and shows how any marriage can be better. The primary function of marriage from 1620 to 1850 was food, shelter, and protection from violence; from 1850 to 1965, the purpose revolved around love and companionship. But today, a new kind of marriage has emerged, one oriented toward self-discover, self-esteem, and personal growth. Finkel combines cutting-edge scientific research with practical advice; he considers paths to better communication and responsiveness; he offers guidance on when to recalibrate our expectations; and he even introduces a set of must-try “lovehacks.” This is a book for the newlywed to the empty nester, for those thinking about getting married or remarried, and for anyone looking for illuminating advice that will make a real difference to getting the most out of marriage today.
Marriage in Changing Japan

Book Description
This book approaches its subject from two angles. First, there is a detailed and descriptive analysis of the social organisation of, and place of marriage in, one community in Kyushu. To this extent, the study is a regional one and provides valuable ethnographic information. The second angle, however, is to analyse this material in the light of other historical ethnographical writings on Japan, which puts the regional material in a national context, and brings together a great deal of information about Japanese marriage hitherto unpublished in English.

Book Description
I thank God (Allah) for giving me well-being and the courage to complete this seven-chapter book. And it has also fulfilled my long-time desire, which is always to share my opinion with different people in different communities. However, human beings are not complete creatures, neither perfect, I am not an exception. You might disagree with some of my opinions, which is very much understandable, because no two people will always agree on the same thing all the time. However, I recommend you and every single reader of this and other books to carefully read every single subject, topic very well, before making any conclusion to agree or disagree. Majority of topics and subjects in this book are based on own personal experience and research. And no part of this book is a copy from any other text. However, I get some of my evidence and reference from the holy Quran and the tradition of Prophet Muhammad. You might read a book with an open mind, but the real-life events that took place and I highlighted some of them are always better to act on something you learn before it could happen to you or you might experience it before and you dont want it to happen to you again. I recommend for every reader to follow the best examples which I highlighted, majority of which will surely help you. Finally, if I said something that offended you, that is not my intention; my real and true intention is to help people in different level of society in regards to issues facing them. And sometimes it is almost impossible to make your point without using a reference and example that might sound offensive to someone; however, that is not the intention of most authors to offend the readers. I wish may God (Allah) make it easy for us to accept the truth and follow the right part to him. May Allah keep peace and his blessing hand on the soul of my mother and father who passed away, with the rest of Islamic community who passed away too. May Allah increase his peace and tranquillity on the legacy of Prophet Muhammad, his followers, and the rest of Islamic community and individuals. I end with the name of Allah, the most gracious, the most merciful.
