Abstract
This volume reports the result of a longitudinal study of the social, psychological, and economic adjustment to the transition from marriage to divorce to remarriage. Furstenberg and Spanier present for the first time the result of a serious study of the world of remarried couples. Many factors change in the second marriage - there is the presence of former spouses and complex familial arrangements, and the involved system of relationships forces us to reconsider our entire definition of the family. This volume adds to our knowledge of remarriage through exploratory interviews and surveys.
