Courtship Processes, Spouse Choice, and Marital Instability

This webinar will provide an overview of dramatic changes in courtship processes, spouse choice and interrelationships between courtship process and marital instability. Using the data from Chitwan Valley Family Study, a non-Western setting, which until recently was characterized as a society with arranged marriage, gender segregated marital relationships, loveless marriages and very low level of divorce, we investigate the role of couple’s concordance in reporting courtship shaping the relationships between courtship and marital instability.
