Hmmmm.... Other works by Heinlein:
Stranger in a Strange Land
To Sail Beyond the Sunset
Time Enough for Love
I Will Fear No Evil (for that living with a ghost thing [sorta {well,
not really but it's my fave :) }])

IIRC, all of these deal with chain marriages except for the last one.
_I_Will_
Fear_No_Evil_ does deal with a three-way relationship that's uhm, rather
interesting to say the least ... Two Guys, One Girl, and only Two Bodies
between the lot of them ...

_Stranger_In_A_Strange_Land_ might not actually have chain marriages, I
don't remember ... it's been so long since I read it ... I know it did
have a sort of free-love church ...
