Chapters are extremely well written and well formatted. Each chapter includes case studies, photos, general background such as the history, religion and economics of the country, and me ceremonies and customs of mate selection and couple formation.

A great deal of research attention has been directed to understanding why marriages last or end in separation. Far less attention has been extended to cohabiting relationships, where couples live together without being registered as married. As in other developed countries, couple formation patterns in Australia have changed dramatically over the last few decades, with most "living-together" unions now beginning with cohabitation rather than marriage, and with an increasing proportion of babies now being born to cohabiting couples. This paper uses longitudinal data to track what happens to cohabiting relationships: whether the partners subsequently marry each other, separate or continue to cohabit over a two-year period. It then investigates the role of each partner's relationship satis...

In this paper, we study the patterns of women first union formation in Hungary. We use competing risk models (Cox regression) to analyze retrospective data (women sub sample, N=8931) from the Gender and Generations Survey for Hungary, wave 1. We found that cohabitation is increasing popular choice among the young cohorts in Hungary and it works as a marriage replacement for women who start their union career later in life. While there is a well defined tendency of the younger generations to choose cohabitation rather than marriage as a first union, the level of education, being in school, working status and ethnicity play an important role in taking this decision.

Previous empirical examinations of the causes of racial differences in marital disruption have focused on economic and demographic factors. In this paper I use data from the National Survey of Families and Households (NSFH) to analyze the effects of a wide range of premarital characteristics, including expressed attitudes, on the African-American/non-African American marital disruption gap.

Hence, most studies of marriage and fertility changes in African societies have focused on women, leading to a relative lack of data regarding how men's marital agenda is modified and how these changes affect couples' marital and reproductive behaviours (Hertrich, 2002; Hertrich & Pilon, 1997). In this study, the notion of "marriage agenda" refers to key events or stages in individuals' life trajectories that have an impact on the course of their marriage process, and thus on the reported date of first marriage: the "social time" for men to initiate this process (defined by their status among their peers and family) and the timing of the finalization of the marriage by different ceremonies.
