Remarriage

Abstract

Marriage is a desired state by most Americans. This belief extends to those who have had a marriage fail. Much of the increase in divorce and remarriage in the last twenty years can be attributed to the baby boom cohort. This study examines remarriage in a sample of 62 baby boom cohort women. The following hypothesis was tested: Women who became single parents at a younger age, had more children, and less education would be more likely to remarry. While the hypothesis was supported, having a co-provider was not mentioned as a reason for remarriage. Still, a co-provider role is important. When remarriages failed, women spoke of the husband's failure to provide as an important factor in their decision to divorce. Implications and directions for future research are given.
