 Stepfamilies: Tomorrow's Nuclear Family
Can you quickly think of a reason why the "stepfamily"
should be reviewed? Could it be because it is predicted to be the
predominant family form in America by the 21st Century?

stepfamily, then well over half of the American population is already
associated with a stepfamily. That my friend, is a lot of folks.
Although the divorce rate is finally leveling, it is still at an all
time high. Society has made it easy and acceptable to be divorced,
which ultimately leaves a staggering amount of children in broken
homes; children who will most likely be faced with adapting to a
stepfamily that is confusing, disappointing, and extremely frustrating.
Children rarely ever have a choice in remarriage, but are expected to
dedicate themselves to its success.
