Anyone interested in getting into the marriage debates would do well to start with Just Married and can expect to gain a full understanding of the landscape. Macedo makes a strong argument for inclusion of same-sex marriages into the legal institution of marriage, and a strong case for retaining the legal institution.\"--Lori Watson, Review of Politics \"Macedo offers a well-researched, wide-ranging argument for the special role of marriage in democratic society and the ability of same-sex: marriage to fit within this accepted role... Just Married ... deserves praise for challenging us to deliberate more diligently the promises and pitfalls of civil marriage.\"--Scott Barclay, Perspectives on Politics \"There is much here I endorse heartily and much I disagree with--vehemently. As a work of public political philosophy, it is sure to engage almost any reader to the same extent, with its wide-ranging, opinionated discussion. This is simply the best book I know articulating the case for the state recognizing same-sex marriage--and stopping reform there.\"--Elizabeth Brake, Ethical Theory and Moral Practice\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface and Acknowledgments ix  Introduction: Why Marriage Matters 1  PART I.
