Post by: Ello_kara on Mar 20, 2018 a Most people who divorce get remarried. In recent years, more than 40 percent of all marriages were between previously married brides and/or grooms. Most divorced people remarry others who have been divorced. However, remarriage rates vary be gender and age. At all ages, a greater proportion of men than women remarry, often relatively soon after the divorce. Among women, the older a woman is at the time of divorce, the lower her likelihood of remarrying. Women who have not graduated from high school and who have young children tend to remarry relatively quickly; by contrast, women with a college degree and without children are less likely to remarry. As a result of divorce and remarriage, complex family relationships are often created. Some people become part of stepfamilies or blended families which consist of a husband and wife, children from previous marriages, and children (if any) from the new marriage. At least initially, levels of family stress may be fairly high because of rivalry among the children and hostilities directed toward stepparents or babies born into the family. In spite of these problems, however, many blended families succeed. The family that results from divorce and remarriage is typically a complex, binuclear family in which children may have a biological parent and a stepparent, biological siblings and stepsiblings, and an array of relatives. d c Divorce is the legal process of dissolving a marriage that allows former spouses to remarry if they so choose. Most divorces today are granted on the grounds of irreconcilable differences, meaning that there has been a breakdown of the marital relationship for which neither partner is specifically blamed. At the macrolevel, societal factors contributing to higher rates of divorce include changes in social institutions, such as religion and family. At the microlevel, a number of factors contribute to a couple's statistical likelihood of divorcing. (1) marriage at an early age (2) a short acquaintanceship before marriage (3) disapproval of the marriage by relatives and friends (4) limited economic resources and low wages (5) a high school education or less (6) parents who are divorced or have unhappy marriages (7) the presence of children at the beginning of the marriage. a Title: According to the social class model developed by Gilbert and Kahl, and based on the theory of Weber, ...
