Stepfamily Association

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?

If you include extended family as being members of a 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.
