Growing up in a divorced family leads to a variety of difficulties
for adult offspring in their own partnerships. One of the best
known and most powerful is the divorce cycle, the transmission of
divorce from one generation to the next. This book examines how the
divorce cycle has transformed family life in contemporary America
by drawing on two national data sets. Compared to people from
intact families, the children of divorce are more likely to marry
as teenagers, but less likely to wed overall, more likely to marry
people from divorced families, more likely to dissolve second and
third marriages, and less likely to marry their live-in partners.
Yet some of the adverse consequences of parental divorce have
abated even as divorce itself proliferated and became more socially
accepted. Taken together, these findings show how parental divorce
is a strong force in people's lives and society as a whole.
