Abstract
Clinicians have identified family cohesion as an important variable in remarried family well-being. However, the empirical literature provides little support to validate the claim that family cohesion is more important for remarried families than in first marriage families. The purpose of this study was to examine family cohesion in remarried families and to compare their levels of cohesion with those of a national random sample of intact, first marriage families. Family cohesion was assessed in a random sample of 68 remarried families using FACES III. The results suggest that except in the case of remarried families with adolescents, family cohesion is more similar in remarried families and intact, first marriage families than previously thought. Implications of the findings for practitioners are also discussed.
