Journal of Marriage and Family (JMF) encourages submissions of manuscripts describing original research, theory, empirical findings, and analysis, concerning all aspects of marriage, other forms of close relationships, and families. It welcomes research employing a variety of methods reflective of the full range of social sciences, including quantitative, qualitative, and multimethod designs. Integrative reviews as well as reports on methodological and statistical advances are also welcome. Manuscripts submitted to JMF undergo a rigorous, but constructive, double-blind peer-review process. Those manuscripts that are accepted are typically published within 6 months. Potential authors are encouraged to contact the incoming editor, Kelly Raley, Professor of Sociology at the University of Texas, jmf@prc.utexas.edu.
