Pamela Paul/Starter Marriages

Abstract: A 6 page research paper/analysis of Pamela Paul's text The Starter Marriage and the Future of Matrimony. In this book, Paul presents the interesting hypothesis that "starter marriages" constitute a new sociological phenomenon. Paul(2003) interviewed more than 60 couples in profiling the factors involved in first marriages that quickly end in divorce. Examination of Paul's text shows that she makes a convincing argument. The writer also conducted interviews on marriage that largely verified Paul's conclusions. Transcripts of these interviews take up roughly 2 pages of the report. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
