Abstract

Remarriage for women in later life is becoming a more popular life option, yet little is known about the psychological adjustment factors or the common stressors during this time. This article critiques and reviews what is known about remarriage for women in later life and discusses the areas where further information is needed. The role of health status, marital satisfaction, life satisfaction, the potential stressors in a remarriage situation, and the lower remarriage rates for women as compared to men are explored.
