Family Life Cycle Model

The Family Life Cycle Model describes the phases families typically go through over time. It includes stages such as single young adults, couples forming families, raising children, and eventually, empty nesting when children leave home. Each phase presents unique challenges and transitions, impacting family dynamics and relationships. Understanding this model helps individuals appreciate the developmental journey of families, recognizing how roles, responsibilities, and interactions evolve as they move through these stages, ultimately contributing to personal growth and change within the family unit.
