- Patterns of Divorce
- The divorce reform act made divorce quicker and easier to obtain
- couples no longer marry for economical reasons as women have more independent and men are not always the breadwinners
- Edward Leach argues that families have become more isolated and therefore more dysfunctional
- More and more women are deciding to marry and have children later on in their lives and this could be the reason for much later marriages
- Changing attitudes and social norms mean there is less stigma surrounding getting a divorce
- Goode and Gibson argue that marriage is no longer seen as a sacred, spiritual act but more of a practical commitment
