What's (Not) Wrong With Low-income Couples: Maintaining Intimacy in More and Less Affluent Marriages

Closing Plenary Session - Official Conference Closing

Presider: Norma Bond Burgess

Divorce rates are higher in low-income neighborhoods than in upper-income neighborhoods, but most research about adult intimacy comes from studies on relatively well-educated, affluent couples. Dr. Benjamin Karney will describe the latest results from a program of research focusing on intimacy in lower-income couples. This session is followed by a related workshop on military families.

Supporting Relationships in Military Couples

Post-conference Workshop

Presider: Shelley MacDermid Wadsworth, Ph.D., Purdue University

The workshop includes (1) a research update with Dr. Karney for practitioners about marriage and divorce in military families and (2) breakout sessions on marital education, family therapy, community capacity building, and military family therapy policies and practice. These sessions will be led by experienced providers and researchers, including our own NCFR members who study or create programs for military families. No cost for this extra session, and lunch is included; pre-registration is required however.
