Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research into marital satisfaction across the family life cycle suggests that marital satisfaction tends to decrease with the presence and raising of young children, due to the stresses and demands of parenting. It often increases again later in life, after children have grown and left home, which is likely the stage the Clancys are in with grandchildren. Therefore, the Clancys are likely experiencing higher levels of marital satisfaction than the McKavicks, who are currently raising school-age children.
