<i>‘Dimitri Mortelmans, Laura Bernardi, and Brienna Perelli-Harris have crafted a collaborative work brimming with extraordinary academic quality and addressing the fascinating topic of partnering from multiple perspectives.

<i>‘This </i>Research Handbook on Partnering across the Life Course<i> provides an extraordinarily comprehensive review of current theory and research on partner relationships. Because contemporary data and research on partner relationships is dominated by studies from western wealthy societies, it is especially laudable that the book contains reviews of what we do know about intimate partnerships in other parts of the world.’</i>
