Many potentially life-altering relationship transitions now happen before commitment develops. Professor Scott Stanley will discuss the implications of these trends for both individuals and society. Dr. Stanley is co-director of the Center for Marital and Family Studies at the University of Denver. He is the author of numerous books including The Power of Commitment.
