At the crossroads of tradition and modernity, more and more people wonder whether it is better to marry or remain free. The book Marriage or Freedom ? from the INSTANT VIE collection offers a lucid, well documented exploration of this pressing question.

Drawing on recent data (2024-2025) and reliable studies, the author analyses the global evolution of marriage, the social and financial benefits of union, the economic and psychological costs of divorce, and the strengths of singlehood and cohabitation. Readers discover that marriage is declining in many regions, cohabitation is emerging as a flexible alternative, and the quest for autonomy is redefining the notion of partnership.

With a clear style and concrete examples, this book helps everyone weigh their priorities : stability, security and sharing versus freedom, flexibility and personal development.
