Family Life Cycles
Discuss each of the seven family life cycles. How important is each stage? What have we learned in this course that can help with communication in each stage? Provide an example of each stage (what it looks like or consists of) and communication aspects we’ve learned that are helpful during the stage.
Then based on cultural trends and evolving values of new generations, what changes in marriage do you predict in the next 15 years? What evidence do you have to support this viewpoint? Do you think most couples today follow the same cycle as those 20 years ago? Why or why not?
