30 years of research on marriage and the family convinces the author of "How Love Conquered Marriage" that the future of marriage is: it's optional. I especially like her conclusion that anything lawmakers can do to strengthen marriage will make life better for unmarried couples, and anything they can do to discourage people from living together outside of marriage will hurt the institution they think they're protecting. But then again, I like being preached to when I'm in the choir.
