Description
Becoming Partners is a popularly written book about marriage and its alternatives. Using interviews in the partner’s own words, the author gives the reader a series of slices, pictures, perceptions— of relationships, breakdowns, restructurings— in a wide variety of partnerships. These are followed by his own incisive commentary and summation. The interviews span a variety of relationships, among others the author’s own marriage, convention, long-lived and successful; commune group marriags; a triangle; a quartet; a racially mixed marriage. And at no time does Dr. Rogers attempt to pass judgment on whether the unions are good or bad: they simply exist, and that is enough.
