Good book!

It is a good book about the institution of marriage and/or romantic relationships. I am only half-way through the book, but have gained much insight into caretaking relationship instead of marriage. The author makes a strong case from a legal and political perspective for caretaking relationships. Marriage is outdated and we need to overhaul this institution!!!
