Overview
Marriages, Families and Intimate Relationships: A Practical Introduction explores how society impacts our personal connections in the modern world. Throughout this research-based text, authors Brian Williams, Stacey Sawyer and Carl Wahlstrom address the questions about intimacy, family and personal happiness that matter most to today's students. Utilizing an accessible writing style, the authors explore gender, marriage, parenting and more via 3 important sociological perspectives: structural-functional, conflict and symbolic interaction.
The 5th Edition offers expanded coverage of gender identity and gender fluidity as well as fully updated research to ensure an up-to-date learning experience.
