Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

The student should indicate that the symbolic interaction perspective states that people's personal experiences help them create their own definition of marriage. People expect marriage to be a lifetime commitment, or at least a form of socially acceptable serial monogamy. People's personal experiences from their families of origin affect their views on marriage. However, from the structural-functional perspective, marriage helps maintain stability in society, provides economic and emotional support for family members, and clearly defines sex/gender roles. Families of divorce and single-parent families are viewed as instances of family deterioration.
