This article presents a marital horizon theory of emerging adulthood that posits that young people's perceptions of marriage are central factors in determining subgroup differences in the length of emerging adulthood as well as the specific behaviours that occur during this period in the family life cycle. The model was tested with a sample of 813 emerging adults who were recruited from six college sites across the country. Results demonstrated that there are significant differences between young people who have relatively close marital horizons (i. e. those who desire marriage in their early 20s) and those who have more distnat marital horizons (i. e. those who desire marriage in their mid - 20s or later) in the areas of substance use patterns, sexual permisiveness, and family formation values. Result suggest that changes in lifestyle patterns previously assumed to be associated with the transition ot marriage may in fact be initiated when young people anticipate mariage in their near future.
