The Marriage Act

 Fiction by John Marrs


This story, set in the same futuristic Britain the author created in Passengers and The One, explores the idea of a national "Sanctity of Marriage" Act. The Act gives tax advantages and other financial incentives to married couples who participate in a national program called "smart marriage." Smart marriage is ostensibly designed to ensure stable family relationships through keeping legally married couples (both gay and straight) happily together with the the help of AI monitoring. But is that really the goal of the Act, and more importantly, is that goal even achievable?

This was an exciting story with several twists, The narration was also really good!


I also read recently by this author:  The Minders
