Answer to Question 2

The student should assert that research indicates second marriages are more at risk for divorce than first marriages for the following reasons: 1. people who remarry are more accepting of divorce, 2. less social support from their families of origin, 3. stepchildren can create stress, and 4. lack of cultural scripts. Age and whether partners were married before also influences divorce rates.
