Introduction
For some people, marriage is the key to happiness. Others however, have chosen single blessedness a way of life. While some men and women, frown upon the idea of being unattached at a late age. Some however has taken this less favored path to happiness on purpose. Of what does happiness consist? Are single women doomed to a life full of loneliness? Or does the single state afford the opportunity to maximize their potentials. (Sario, 2000)
Children grow up in a variety of family structures. Single parent families and two-parent families are created and recreated through marriage, divorce, remarriage, cohabitation and births outside of marriage. In fact, single-parent families are the fastest growing family structure. The majority of single-parent families are created through divorce.
Single-parent families can be defined as families where a parent lives with dependent children, either alone or in a larger household, without a spouse or partner. There was a rapid and drastic increase in the number of single-parent families in the latter half of the twentieth century. Regardless of how family diversity is viewed the increase in and prevalence of families headed by one parent has a major influence on the social, economic, and political context of family life. Cultural definition of a mother’s role also contributes to the preference of mother as primary caregiver. Children
