Stepfamilies are common throughout the industrialized world. In the United States nearly everyone marries, and about half of the marriages include at least one previously married partner (US Census Bureau, 2000). Most divorced people in other western countries also either remarry or cohabit, but at lower rates than in the United States. About half of the remarriages involve adults who have children
