This study was an investigation of the perceptions of 65 remarried couples of the issues and tasks set forth in current literature on remarriage that are said to be experienced in common by the remarried family as it integrates into an on-going, stable, supportive unit. Analysis of the survey instrument results indicated that all of the items were perceived as having been experienced in the past by at least 17% of the sample, with often considerable spread between the number experiencing an item and the number experiencing disturbance because of the item. There was strong evidence that the partners perceived a lessening over time in the degree of disturbance experienced in their remarriage and that certain aspects of remarriage family integration processes were more or less troublesome according to the role the individual partner played in the remarriage. Implications for family education and counseling are offered. / M.S.
