So that's what they're calling it these days.

Well, gee, we’re headed for an anything-goes world. On the express train to who-gives-a-crapshoot. Remember, anything you do, all you have to say is, “oops, sorry” and be done with it.

Yup. I love that new buzzword/phrase: “marital transition”.

No more divorce or separation, or even marriage. :D

>>marital transitions

It’s a perfectly legitimate expression which was coined to encompass ALL forms of role-changes in marriages (e.g.: death of a spouse, divorce with subsequent geographical separation, divorce without geographical separation, remarriage, etc.).

The study didn’t restrict its scope to divorce.

I don’t believe that the authors of the study were attempting to “sneak in” a (liberal) value judgement.

It’s just a handy term to use.
