More surprising, perhaps, than the current difficulties of traditional marriage is the fact that marriage itself is alive and【C1】, As Skolnick notes, Americans are a marrying people:【C2】to Europeans, more of us marry and we marry at a younger age.【C3】. after a decline in the early 1970s, the【C4】of marriage in the United States is now【C5】. Even the divorce rate needs to be taken in this pro-marriage context — some 80 percent of【C6】individuals remarry.【C7】, marriage remains, by far, the preferred way of life for the vast majority of people in our society.
What has changed more than marriage is the nuclear family.

And there are many marriages where at【C10】some of the children are from the wife’s【C11】marriage, or the husband’s, or both. Sometimes these children spend all of their time with one parent from the【C12】marriage;【C13】they are shared between the two former parents.
Thus, one can find the very type of family arrangement. There are marriages【C14】children; marriages with children from only the【C15】marriage;【C16】with "full-time" children from the present marriage and "part-time" children from former marriages. There are stepfathers, stepmothers, half-brothers, and half-sisters. It is not all that【C17】for a child to have four parents and eight grandparents! These are【C18】changes from the traditional nuclear family.【C19】even so, even in the midst of all this, there【C20】one constant — most Americans spend most of their adult lives married. [br] 【C18】
