More surprising, perhaps, than the current difficulties of traditional marriage is the fact that marriage itself is alive and thriving(兴盛)。As Skolnick notes, Americans are marrying people----relative to Europeans, more of us marry and we marry at a younger age. Moreover, after a decline in the early 1970s, the rate of marriage in the United States is now increasing. Even the divorce rate needs to be taken in this pro-marriage context: some 80percent of divorced individuals remarry. Thus, marriage remains, by far, the preferred way of life for the vast majority of people in our society.
What has changed more than marriage is the nuclear family. Twenty-five years ago, the typical American family consisted of a husband, a wife and two or three children. Now, there are many marriages in which couples have decided not to have any children. And there are many marriages where at least some of the children are from the wife’s previous marriage, or the husband’s, or both. Sometimes these children spend all their time with one parent from the former marriage; sometimes they are shared between the two former spouses.
Thus, one can find the very type of family arrangement. There are marriages without children; marriages with children from only the present marriage; marriages with full time children from the present marriage and part time children from former marriages. These are stepfathers, stepmothers, half-brothers, and half-sisters. It is not all the unusual for a child to have four parents and eight grandparents! There are enormous changes from the traditional nuclear family. But even so, even in the midst of all this, one thing remains constant: most Americans spend most of their adult lives married.

更令人惊讶的是,或许,比当前的困难传统婚姻的婚姻本身的事实是还在继续,并日渐(兴盛)作为收录于《变革中的家庭》指出,美国人结婚的人——相对于欧洲,我们当中的许多人结婚,我们结婚年龄。再者,由于人数下降了1970年代早期,率的婚姻在美国现在开始上升。甚至英国的离婚率要带在这个pro-marriage背景:大约80%的离异的人结婚。因此,婚姻仍然是,到目前为止,首选生活方式对于绝大多数人而言,在我们的社会。
什么改变了超过婚姻是核心家庭。25年前,典型的美国家庭由一个丈夫,一个妻子和两个或三个孩子。现在,有许多婚姻中夫妻决定不会有任何的孩子。还有许多婚姻当时至少有一些孩子来自妻子的先前的婚姻,或者丈夫的,或者两者兼有。有时,这些孩子们把所有的时间和一名家长从以前的婚姻;有时他们之间共享这两名前配偶。
因此,一个能找到好交易的类型的家庭安排。没有孩子有婚姻;婚姻只是呈现儿童与婚姻;婚姻与全职的孩子从目前的婚姻和兼职的孩子从以前的婚姻。这些是继父、继母,兄弟,和half-sisters。这并不奇怪,孩子的父母和祖父母四8 !有巨大改变传统核心家庭。但即使如此,即使在这一切中,但有一件事情保持不变的,大多数美国人大部分的成年生活中都结婚了。

更令人惊讶的是，也许，比目前的困难，传统的婚姻是婚姻的本身却是欣欣向荣（兴盛）。作为收录的笔记，美国人结婚的人----相对于欧洲人，更多的我们结婚，我们在年轻的时候结婚。此外，在1970年早期的下降之后，结婚率在美国正在增加。即使是离婚率要被接受这个婚姻情况：有80 %的离婚的人再婚。因此，婚姻仍然是，迄今为止，首选的生活方式的绝大多数人在我们的社会。

有什么变化超过婚姻家庭。二十五年前，典型的美国家庭由丈夫，妻子和两个或三个孩子。现在，有很多家庭都决定不要孩子。在许多婚姻中，至少有一些孩子是妻子以前的婚姻，或丈夫，或两者兼而有之。有时这些孩子们花费他们所有的时间与父母其中一人从以前的婚姻；有时他们的前配偶双方共同。

因此，人们可以找到非常家庭类型的安排。那里是没有孩子的婚姻；婚姻与子女只从目前的婚姻；婚姻充满孩子的时间从目前的婚姻和孩子的时间从以前的婚姻。这些是继父，继母和同父异母的兄弟，姐妹。不是所有的不寻常的有四个孩子的父母和八个祖父母！有传统的核心家庭的巨大变化。但即使如此，即使在这一切当中，有一点不变的：大多数美国人花费大部分成年生活结婚
