marriage
Marriage is obviously important to Heinlein. In many stories a marriage is central to the story, the characters take time out from crises to marry, or it is implied that marriage between main characters is inevitable: Between Planets, Beyond This Horizon, The Door Into Summer, Double Star, Farnham's Freehold (Hugh considered Barbara Wells his wife in the absence of legal arrangements; never mind that his legal wife was still living, though separated from him and seemingly oblivious to his existence), Friday, Glory Road, "Gulf", "If This Goes On-", I Will Fear No Evil, Job, "Let There Be Light", "The Menace from Earth", The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress, The Number of the Beast, The Puppet Masters, Time Enough for Love, Time for the Stars, and Tunnel in the Sky.

1. Serial monogamy is apparently common in the society of Beyond This Horizon. Marriage contracts are for a limited number of years, renewable by mutual consent.
(Beyond This Horizon)
2. Marriages are more political than personal among the Free Traders. They are designed to exchange personnel and create bonds between ships. Women are traded to other ships for marriages, while men remain in their "home" ships.
(Citizen of the Galaxy)
3. In Golden Rule it is possible only through church ceremonies, since there is no legal institution of marriage.
(The Cat Who Walks Through Walls)
4. In Luna, polygamous and particularly polyandrous customs evolved because of the drastic shortage of women. Simple polyandry was common, but clan marriages (details not given) and line marriages are also mentioned.
(The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress)
5. Marriage in the Ship in effect involved transfer of ownership of women from fathers to husbands. The woman had no say in the matter.
(Orphans of the Sky)
6. Limited contract marriages are apparently common; surprise is expressed that Sam Cavanaugh insists on an open-ended contract with no need for renewal.
(The Puppet Masters)
7. [mentioned in passing] The Howard Families practiced every variation except lifelong monogamy. The Long household on Tertius was a group marriage with particular concern for the economic and emotional welfare of the children.
(Time Enough for Love)
8. Among the Howard Families, serial monogamy was common because of their long lives. The intermarriages had an incestuous quality as the number of marriages and remarriages multiplied within a relatively small pool of eligible spouses. Some of the Howard couples had open marriages; outside partners, however, required one's spouse's approval.
(To Sail Beyond the Sunset)

Mars
In Heinlein's stories, the Red Planet is usually described as barren and cold with a thin atmosphere, just barely habitable by humans in pressurized habitats or after terraforming. The "canals" are real waterways (usually frozen). The planet has native life, variously described in different books. Though some of the books depict conflicts between human colonists and native Martians, none portray the natives as resentful of the invasion of their home; often, the Martians remains largely oblivious to the human presence.

1. Present residence of Don Harvey's parents, neutral in the dispute between Venus and Earth. Mars was inhabited by intelligent natives as well as by human colonists.
(Between Planets)
2. Mentioned in passing as inhabited by humans.
(The Cat Who Walks Through Walls)
3. It was colonized by Earth. John Joseph Bonforte pushed through legislation guaranteeing the rights of nonhumans, and was adopted by the native Martians. 
(Double Star)
4. [mentioned in passing] Settlements on Mars and Venus were abandoned when the Prophet banned space travel. (Or more likely, other countries on Earth maintained contact, but as far as the people under the Prophet's control were concerned, the settlements were abandoned. In Time Enough for Love, it is implied that the colonies managed to survive.)
("If This Goes On—")
5. In this time line, Mars is an almost airless desert. See also the various descriptions under "Martians".
(The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress)
6. The "Mars" that the crew of the Gay Deceiver visited had an earthlike environment and had been colonized by both Great Britain and Russia. The natives were less intelligent than humans and were domesticated as field hands. 
(The Number of the Beast)
7. Human settlements were independent of Earth, but there was great pressure to join the Earth-dominated Federation. Mars was also inhabited by intelligent natives.
(Podkayne of Mars)
8. It was colonized by humans governed by an Earth corporation until their revolt, but also inhabited by intelligent natives who were tolerant of the human settlements as long as the humans caused no trouble.
(The Red Planet)
9. It was settled by humans. The tariffs and taxes were almost prohibitive of interplanetary trade. Tourism was the biggest industry.
(The Rolling Stones)
10. It was inhabited by intelligent natives possessed of supernatural powers. The first Earth expedition died except for one infant, Valentine Michael Smith, who was raised by the natives and was brought to Earth by the second expedition. In spite of the native inhabitants, a legal wrangle arose on Earth over whether Smith "owned" Mars by right of habitation and inheritance.
(Stranger in a Strange Land)
11. Lazarus Long spent the Interregnum here, managing a bordello under the name "Happy" Daze.
(Time Enough for Love)

Mars Company
Business enterprise that chartered the colonization of Mars. Its policies showed more concern for profits than for the survival and welfare of the colonists.

2. Podkayne Fries' hometown.

(Podkayne of Mars)

Martian Adoption Ceremony
Knowledge of the ritual is restricted to members of the nest. In the public part of the ceremony, the sponsor confronts the nominee, who offers to be killed if any propriety was breached; then the sponsor escorts him in for interrogation, with highly stylized questions and responses. The entire ritual lasts for exactly one-ninth of Mars' rotation, and is followed by a feast. After the feast speeches are given, and the adoptee is awarded a Martian name and lifewand. John Joseph Bonforte was the first human nominated for adoption into a Martian nest. Larry Smith successfully impersonated him for the ritual after Bonforte's kidnapping left Bonforte permanently brain-damaged.

Martian
1. The natives of Mars were described as having "pseudo-wings". They were apparently human-sized or smaller, and very intelligent.
(Between Planets)
2. Natives were described as "the poor degenerate starveling descendants of the once-mighty Builders of Mars", no longer adequately intelligent.
(Beyond This Horizon)
3. The natives looked "like a tree trunk topped off by a sun helmet…grew pseudo limbs…Could look in all directions at once without turning their heads-if they had heads, which of course they don't." They also had a distinctive odor. They reproduced by fission. Theirs was an ancient, highly formal culture; its overriding principle is the concept of "propriety".
(Double Star)
4. Martians themselves are not mentioned, but "Noisy" Rhysling's memories of the cities they built inspired his song "The Grand Canal".
("The Green Hills of Earth")
5. Artifacts were found by human expeditions, but the Martians themselves were extinct.
(I Will Fear No Evil)

(The Number of the Beast)
7. It was implied that Martians had no heads, but were so advanced that they took little interest in things other than philosophy.
(Podkayne of Mars)
8. Natives were described as averaging 12 or more feet tall, with three legs, three eyes, and arms ending in "palm flaps". An ancient and contemplative race not given to violence, they had the ability to "disappear" anything (or anyone) that attacks them. They apparently remained in contact with the physical world after death. Juvenile Martians were completely unlike adults, resembling furry basketballs that occasionally extruded eyes or limbs, and apparently possessing minimal intelligence.
(The Red Planet)
9. Natives were described as having three legs. Their communities were prohibited to humans by treaty, but Lowell Stone was taken to meet one. Though obviously not traumatized by the experience, he refused to talk about it afterward.
(The Rolling Stones)
10. Adults were huge, reminding humans of "boats under sail", while juveniles (nymphs) were fat, furry spheres, all bounce and mindless energy. Adults led contemplative lives, and maintained contact with the physical world after "discorporation". Their language contained many concepts inaccessible to humans, and they possessed a wide range of apparently "supernatural" powers.

Masquerade
1. Policy of the Howard Families to simulate the death of members once they reached an unusual age and to provide them with a new identity. It was vital during the Interregnum, but increasingly annoying in a more civilized society because of the high cost of dishonesty and continual uprooting (not to mention the difficulty of establishing identities given modern record-keeping). When a small group of Howard volunteers tried ending the Masquerade, however, they found that people with shorter life-spans envied and resented the long-lived enough to persecute them.
(Methuselah's Children)
2. Beginning in 1920, the Howard Families began trimming years off their official ages whenever possible, and eventually acquired new identities every 30 years or so to protect themselves from the majority who had normal life spans and might resent or fear those with "unnaturally" long lives. The Masquerade was in full force during the Crazy Years, which occurred sometime after the 1980s.
