What does sociologist Andrew Cherlin mean when he contends that Americans (in comparison to people in other places) are on “a marriage-go-round that’s spinning faster and faster out of control”? What evidence does he use to show that despite Americans’ love for the institution of marriage, Americans are not very good at doing marriage? 2. How does the marriage-go-round (and the similar cohabitation-go-round) affect children who are involved in such families? Has remarriage been a solution for the child problems caused by the marriage-go-round? Does Cherlin think going back to the 1950s model of staying in a marriage even if it is bad would solve these child problems? What is his solution? 3. In your opinion, would it help the situation to make American marriages harder to enter into and to dissolve with divorce? Could we really return to the “together forever/till death do us part” model—would it be possible, and would Americans accept this return? If you think we could return to the 1950s model, how would we do it and enforce it? If you don’t think we could return to the 1950s model, why not?
