This project aims to examine the notion of the couple in the era of marriage equality. It is generally thought that couple longevity is an incontestable good socially, psychologically, and economically. The advent of same-sex marriage in Australia provides the occasion to reconsider why it is that general cultural benefits are thought to devolve from coupled intimacy alone. Rather than dismiss the value of marriage, either straight or gay, this project looks at an archive of contemporary representations in which the couple form presents as a public good, not a private good. This anthropological study tests the supposed connection between intimate companionship and collective thriving.

该项目旨在研究婚姻平等时代的夫妻观念。人们普遍认为，夫妻长寿在社会、心理和经济上都是一种不可或缺的好处。澳大利亚同性婚姻的出现提供了一个重新思考的机会，为什么一般的文化利益被认为是从夫妇的亲密关系中转移出来的。该项目并没有忽视婚姻的价值，无论是异性恋还是同性恋，而是着眼于当代代表性的档案，其中这对夫妇的形式呈现为公共利益，而不是私人利益。这项人类学研究测试了亲密伴侣和集体繁荣之间的联系。
