Peer reviewedLaRossa, Ralph – Journal of Marriage and the Family, 1983
Compares physical time and social time, illustrated with a case study of a husband and wife who are in the midst of their transition to second-time (and unexpected) parenthood. Demonstrates the heuristic value of a social-time framework for understanding the transition to parenthood in particular and family systems in general. (Author/JAC)

Peer reviewedGross, Harriet Engel – Journal of Marriage and the Family, 1980
Findings suggest that older couples, those married longer, those among whom at least one spouse has an established career, and those who are freed from childrearing responsibilities find the lifestyle less stressful. Also, women may be more comfortable with the arrangement because of the recognition of their rights. (Author)
