Hensley, Christopher; Tallichet, Suzanne E.; Dutkiewicz, Erik L. – Journal of Interpersonal Violence, 2010

Emery, Clifton R. – Journal of Marriage and Family, 2009
Much research has argued for the existence of a marriage benefit to men, women, and children.

This paper uses the Project on Human Development in Chicago…
