We can have better marriages if we really want them,

Does societies hope lie in open marriage, group marriage, serial marriage, or in other alternatives to the traditional? David and Vera Mace say NO! And they set out to prove that within the traditional framework of marriage there is a lifestyle that can revitalize the relationship of both partners- and the institution itself. The Maces call this companionship marriage and it is characterized not by no-strings arrangements and limited commitments but by bringing partners closer together in a creative sharing of life with emphasis on true intimacy and continuing growth.
