What Is The Family Life Cycle?
Throughout the years families experience many
changes that affect the family as a whole. The
family life cycle is a model that was created to show the five different stages of the cycle. While it is very
accurate in most cases, all families are different and
the model can’t reflect ALL variations, but it does give a general picture of how families must adapt to
changing situations and priorities.
Stage One:Beginning
Beginning Stage: Traditionally, the
family life cycle begins when two
people marry. Priorities at this
stage include building a
relationship, working out
respective roles, and setting goals
for the future.
Stage Two:Parenting
Parenting Stage:When the couple become parents, their priorities
focus on raising children. As they devote time and
effort to caring for children, they have
less time for activities as a
couple.
Stage Three:Launching
Launching Stage:This time of
transition occurs as the children begin to leave
home and become independent. They must adjust to new
responsibilities, just as their
parents must learn to relate to them
as adults.
Stage Four:Middle-AgeMiddle-Age Stage:After children leave
home, parents have more time to focus on being a couple again. The may reassess their careers, take up new hobbies, and become more involved in community activities. Preparing for retirement becomes a more immediate concern.
Stage Five:Retirement
Retirement Stage:Retirement gives more
time for leisure activities. A couple
may move to a smaller home or to a
retirement community. In this stage, aging
related issues such as health and
independence are more likely to be major
concerns.
