Preferred term

marital typologies  

Definition

  • Marital typologies represent attempts of scholars to simplify the study of marriage by grouping together, and essentially treating as equivalent, those marriages that are similar and to distinguish, and treat separately, those that are different. This entry reviews basic assumptions underlying different marital typologies and their roles in theorizing about interaction processes and outcomes relevant to marriage.
