Marriages and Families: Changes, Choices and Constraints offers a comprehensive introduction to the issues families face today. The text examines contemporary families through the lenses of the choices we make and the constraints that often limit these choices. Longtime author Nijole Benokraitis and new coauthor Karen Seccombe explore concepts via a variety of cross-cultural scenarios. Their multidisciplinary approach helps you understand the family in which you were raised as well as the family you may be forming yourself.

The 10th Edition offers updated discussions of family, parenting and relationships, with fresh coverage of topics such as decreasing marriage rates, current dating trends and more.
