A family cycle is defined as the pattern of evolution that most families undergo through over some time. Although most families practice this pattern, some don't due to different family settings.

Also, in marriages where children are not produced don't fulfill the seven stages of the family cycle. These stages of family cycles include establishing a family, enlarging a family, developing a family, encouraging impendence, launching children, post launching children, and lastly, retirement, respectively (Wood, 2015). This essay provides an in-depth analysis of each stage of the family life cycle, establishing its importance to the family setting and explaining how it applies to the current family structure.
