TRANSITION TO MARRIAGE: A LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

The effective design and successful implementation of programs that target the transition to marriage has been limited in the family life education field. Some researchers have called for more of a family life education focus on newlyweds. In order to expand our understanding of this important transition, a review of the existing literature on the transition to marriage would be a significant contribution to family life researchers and educators. The present article synthesizes the available information that is germane to our understanding of the transition to marriage by highlighting the salient intrapersonal, interpersonal, familial, and social developmental issues facing couples making the marital transition in order to conduct future research and design relevant family life education curricula.
