Solution Summary

There are various reasons why couples, of whom are not married, experience violence and conflict. I want to provide you some thinking tools to use in hopes of probing your thoughts of why there is an incidence of this type of behavior in premarital conflicts. My first thought comes from work that I have done as a case worker. When I was working as a case worker in the child welfare sector, most of my clients were not married. In fact, it was very rare to have a case where the mother and father of the child were married. Out of, well...over 30 or 40 cases I worked on continuously, I cannot think of any instance where a couple was married. Now, think of the types of clients one might encounter in the child welfare sector...can you imagine the most likely type of population? In all reality, that should answer your question! On the flip side of the coin, what if I was working with a very prominent, wealthy family where the mother and father were not married as well? Does financial status always play a part in premarital conflict? No. Why is that? When thinking about this question, there are various types of avenues one can go down when presenting information...so let's turn to the scholarly literature for some guidance...

In this solution, you will find a detailed discussion on the topic of violence and conflict in premarital relationships. 2542 words including 5 attachments and various in-text citations and references.
