What Is The Family Life Cycle? Throughout the years families experience many changes that affect the family as a whole. The family life cycle is a model that was created to show the five different stages of the cycle. While it is very accurate in most cases, all families are different and the model can’t reflect ALL variations, but it does give a general picture of how families must adapt to changing situations and priorities.

Stage One: Beginning Beginning Stage: Traditionally, the family life cycle begins when two people marry. Priorities at this stage include building a relationship, working out respective roles, and setting goals for the future.

Stage Two: Parenting Parenting Stage: When the couple become parents, their priorities focus on raising children. As they devote time and effort to caring for children, they have less time for activities as a couple.

Stage Three: Launching Launching Stage: This time of transition occurs as the children begin to leave home and become independent. They must adjust to new responsibilities, just as their parents must learn to relate to them as adults.

Stage Four: Middle-Age Middle-Age Stage: After children leave home, parents have more time to focus on being a couple again. The may reassess their careers, take up new hobbies, and become more involved in community activities. Preparing for retirement becomes a more immediate concern.

Stage Five: Retirement Retirement Stage: Retirement gives more time for leisure activities. A couple may move to a smaller home or to a retirement community. In this stage, aging related issues such as health and independence are more likely to be major concerns.
