In this intriguing book, social psychologist Irwin Altman and
anthropologist Joseph Ginat examine husband-wife and wife-wife
relationships in contemporary Mormon polygamous families. They
describe how husbands and wives in plural families cope with their
complex lifestyle in various facets of everyday life, including
courtship, weddings, honeymoons, adjustments to a new life, living
arrangements, and the husband's rotation among his wives. Other
important topics include budget and resource management,
psychological attachments to homes, and the social-emotional
relationships between family members. This pioneering,
comprehensive analysis of life in modern day Mormon polygamous
families uses first-hand interviews and observations to describe
this unusual family lifestyle. It adds to our understanding of
close relationships and complements knowledge on other modern
relationship forms, such as single-parent families, blended
families, and cohabiting partners.
