Selecting a mate may just be the most important life decision anyone ever makes. It's also not a decision everyone makes in the same way; adults engage in many different types of relationships with one another. Young adults look to their teachers, parents, and other adult role models for advice and example. In Love, Marriage & Divorce we confront the issues and theories behind the selection of a mate and the commitment of marriage, and also discuss why so many of today's marriages end in divorce.
