Today, when 50 percent of couples who marry eventually get divorced, it is clear that we have moved from a culture in which marriage is forever to one in which marriage is contingent. Author Karla Hackstaff looks at intact marriages to examine the impact of new expectations in a culture of divorce.

About the Author:
Karla Hackstaff is Assistant Professor of Sociology at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff.
From Library Journal:
In a sea of passionate literature that arouses fears about changing family values comes Hackstaff's studious exploration of marriage in the midst of a divorce culture. The author (sociology, Northern Arizona Univ.) contrasted archival case studies of couples married in the 1950s with her own case studies of people married during the 1970s to determine gender differences in the perception of roles and the marital unit itself between generations. Using these extensive studies and personal interviews, she reveals many changes and contradictions in married life in the United States. Her contention is that there are costs associated with a marriage culture as well as a divorce culture and that right now society is making a transition to general equality that is unsettling but may ultimately lead to healthier marital relationships. Hackstaff has done a scrupulous job of research and case presentation. This academic complement to Stephanie Coontz's The Way We Really Are: Coming to Terms with America's Changing Families (LJ 4/1/97) offers a more even-handed look at marriage and divorce than Barbara Dafoe Whitehead's The Divorce Culture (LJ 2/15/97). Recommended for academic and larger public libraries.ADeborah Bigelow, Leonia P.L., NJ
