Understanding the Divorce Cycle: The Children of Divorce in their Own Marriages Book

How does parental divorce affect children? This is the first book to focus exclusively on the relationship between growing up in a divorced family and offspring behavior in romantic relationships. Professor Nicholas Wolfinger examines the effects of parental divorce on marriage timing, mate selection, marriage, stability, and cohabiting relationships. He explores how these effects have changed over time. This book is based on analysis of two large national surveys, so the findings can be generalized to the American population as a whole. Based on these results, Wolfinger argues that no-fault divorce laws should be left in place; recriminalizing divorce is more likely to do more harm than good.Read More

  • Product Description

    Growing up in a divorced family can cause the children to have difficulties in maintaining relationships. Nicholas Wolfinger demonstrates the significant impact of parental divorce upon people's lives and society. The divorce cycle phenomena ensures the transmission of divorce from one generation to the next. This book examines how it has transformed family life in contemporary America by drawing on two national data sets. Compared to people from intact families, the children of divorced parents are more likely to marry as teenagers, but less likely to wed overall. They are more likely to marry other people from divorced families, but more likely to dissolve second and third marriages, and less likely to marry their live-in partners.
