Marriage is ordinarily a public practice, supported by, as well as
supportive of, society. But it need not fall within the purview of
the state. Public Practice, Private Law articulates a conception of
marriage as a morally rich and important institution that ought to
be subject to private rather than legislative or judicial ordering.
It elaborates a robust understanding of marriage that captures what
both different-sex and same-sex couples might see as valuable about
their relationships. It explains why sexual ethics won't yield a
normative model of marriage, and why the kind of marital love worth
wanting, can. It goes on to show how an understanding of marriage
as rooted in demanding commitments can allow for divorce before
arguing that the state should cease to sponsor marriages. It
concludes by suggesting that both state and non-state institutions
should acknowledge the marriages of same-sex couples.
