This book examines the role of marriage in contemporary society, with a particular focus on gender and sexual inequalities within the context of marriage and family. This study employs qualitative social science methods to explore the potential of a more inclusive and sexually-fluid society to reshape traditional institutions like marriage by examining the lived experiences of 41 married people residing in Wisconsin, including members of the LGBT+ community.The book further examines overlooked complexities of married life, including the practice of consensual nonmonogamy and the experience of bisexual identity erasure, to challenge cultural norms and raise thought-provoking questions about what marriage and family can look like in a more equitable world. The study provides critical insights into the social and legal mechanisms that reinforce and disrupt gender and sexuality norms, as well as the larger implications of undoing these norms for achieving greater gender and sexual equality.
