Document Summary
What happens if we treat divorce as a process instead of event? o . Decisions are made within the context of interaction. Institutions like marriage are viewed as human creations. This requires (at least) a partly open-ended framework. Vaughn adopts concepts from berger & kellner"s marriage and the constructure of reality .
