This book should be of interest to scholars, researchers, students,
and practitioners alike. Scholars, researchers, and students of
personal relationship development will recognize in this book the
first serious attempt in over 40 years to do a large-scale,
longitudinal study of premarital factors that predict premarital
breakup and marital quality; they should also appreciate our
attempt to develop a theoretical rationale for predicted paths and
to test those paths with the best available statistical tools.
Practitioners-while generally not as interested in the intricacies
of the statistical results-will find much that is useful to them as
they help individuals and couples make decisions about their
intimate relationships, their readiness for marriage, and how to
increase the probability for marital success. Teachers, family life
educators, premarital counselors, and clergy will find helpful our
"principles for practice," particularly as described in Chapter 9,
as they teach and counsel couples in any premarital situation. My
interest in the development of relationships from premarital to
marital probably began when I got married in 1972 and started to
notice all of the characteristics my wife and I brought from our
respective families and how our "new beginning" as a married couple
was in many ways the continuation of our premarital relationship,
only more refined and more intense. My professional interest began
when I did my doctoral dissertation in 198 1 on premarital
predictors of early marital satisfaction (the results of that study
are reported in Chapter 8).
