This text represents a serious attempt to carry out a large-scale longitudinal study of pre-marital factors that predict breakup and marital quality. The author develops a theoretical rationale for predicted paths and tests those paths with the best statistical tools. Practitioners should find the results useful in their attempts to help individuals and couples make decisions about marriage, marital stability and childrearing.
