Childlessness and Marital Stability in Remarriages.

Griffith, Janet D.; And Others

Journal of Marriage and the Family, v46 n3 p577-85 Aug 1984

Examined childbearing and marital stability among women (N=825) still childless at remarriage. Found that, among White women two-thirds have a first child in the new marriage. Among Black women, only one-third begin childbearing in remarriage. Marital disruption may delay the beginning of childbearing or contribute to a childless lifestyle. (JAC)
