Marriage and Parenting:
A Study of the Relationship Between Quality of Marriage and Effective Parenting
United States governmental data shows that exactly half of all marriages will end in divorce.
The data is for the year 2012, a year not yet started, but one in which the statistics are unchanging. Though unsurprising for some, these statistics show that children will often experience broken homes and broken families, and from personal experience, I can vouch that divorce or separation is no way to raise a child, and such a young individual should never be in the midst of a custody battle, a divorce proceeding, or any other marital problems. Because of such statistics it becomes clear also that parenting is cast aside, or at least, ignored a little. However, for those lucky children who have a united home, their parents' happy marriage will be very clearly reflected in parenting. In fact, this paper will examine further the fact that a relationship exists between quality of marriage and effective parenting and will argue that the most effective parenting with the most positive outcomes results only when there is harmony and understanding between two married parents.
The first and most important aspect of parenting to touch upon, with respect to effective parenting with positive results, as described above, is to understand that coparenting will produce the best results.

Marriage - After the Ritual is Over Marriage: After the Ritual is Over Marriage as a lifestyle is far different from the actual wedding. Unfortunately, many people are very focused on the ritual of getting married and not focused on what takes place after the ritual is over. Sometimes this is so pervasive that it can cloud a person's judgment as it relates to the person he or she is marrying -
Marriage Stability The success of marriage has been shown to depend on a number of variables, such as interpersonal competence (Cole and Cole, 1999), personal meanings of marriage (Timmer and Orbuch, 2001), socioeconomic status, education, wife religiosity (Brown, Orbuch, and Bauermeister, 2008), and close ties to parents (Orbuch, Bauermeister, Brown, and McKinley, 2013). The vast majority of research has focused on the perspective of parents and the various variables that influence
This is essential if we are to ensure that children receive proper and stable parenting - which is so essential to child development in all areas. Debate and different views as to new modes and methods of improving and promoting family and marriage have their place. However, this does not mean that the ideal of family should in any sense be diminished or discarded. Bibliography Barber, N. (2000) Why Parents Matter: Parental
