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.
