Abstract

My original intention for my first research project was to fill a gap in the scholarship related to marriage problems in German resulting from and during the aftermath of World War II. Specifically, we wanted to add to the literature a source that discussed how these problems were overcome. We planned to answer questions such as: Which marriages were successful and why were they successful? What factors contributed to the ability to overcome problems caused by war-time changes? Through understanding how these problems were solved over sixty years ago we hoped to help contemporary persons cope with and resolve difficulties caused by present war-time situations and/or related problems caused by external circumstances.
