Abstract
What's happening in the 1980s concerning marital choices? Parents of today's college students were themselves seeking marital partners in the 1960s when traditional sexual norms were challenged including "living together" and innovative weddings. How are these parents responding to the dating choices and practices of their children? This paper presents some exploratory research on the mate selection socialization process as recalled by college students.
