Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to outline an economic approach to marriage. The first part contains an introduction to the economics of a family. The second part analyses the marriage market. The third part discusses the division of household chores in a household. The fourth part examines marriage as a cooperative or non-cooperative game. The fifth part deals with the dilemma between monogamy and polygamy on marriage markets. The sixth part confronts the economics of marriage with the findings of sociobiology.
