Social Justice in Close Relationships

  • Chapter
The Justice Motive in Social Behavior

Part of the book series: Critical Issues in Social Justice ((CISJ))

Abstract

Love and justice are an odd couple, the former presumably all emotional, the latter all rational. They are more closely tied, however, than romantic tradition lets on (e.g., Friedan, 1963). In this chapter, we examine the connecting links between justice in the calculable world of work and money and in the presumably incalculable world of love.
