NCFMR
The National Center for Family & Marriage Research (NCFMR) was established in 2007 to improve our understanding of how family structure is linked to the health and well-being of children, adults, families, and communities and to inform policy development and programmatic responses. Wendy D. Manning and Susan L. Brown codirect the NCFMR at Bowling Green State University. This project is supported with assistance from Bowling Green State University. From 2007 to 2013, support was also provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation.
An advocate for involving undergraduate and graduate students in research, Wendy Manning named first Aldrich Professor
Wendy Manning has been appointed to the Dr. Howard E. and Penny Daum Aldrich Distinguished Professorship in Sociology. This Professorship is designed to recognize and retain exceptional faculty, and we are tremendously fortunate to have her as our colleague at BGSU. The Distinguished Professorship was gifted to the institution by Howard and Penny Aldrich, both of whom are graduates of BGSU. Howard Aldrich is Kenan Distinguished Professor of Sociology at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.
Several factors lead to delay in marriage entry
“A lot of couples cohabit first, in part to try out the relationship and make sure it is solid. Our cultural scripts about what constitute a successful marriage these days represent a high bar. Couples aim to be financially secure before tying the knot. This and other prerequisites have contributed to the delay in marriage entry,” said Susan Brown, co-director of the National Center for Family and Marriage Research at Bowling Green State University.
