Coleman and Ganong found that there were ______ differences between spouses in first marriages and those in remarriages.

• A. Dramatic
• B. Slight
• C. Very few
• D. No

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is that remarriage doesn’t dramatically change how spouses relate compared to first marriages. Coleman and Ganong found very few differences between spouses in first marriages and those in remarriages. This means that, in general, the way partners communicate, solve problems, and experience satisfaction is similar across both types of marriages; any differences that do show up tend to be small and often tied to specific remarriage dynamics like blended families or adjusting to stepchildren and prior divorce histories, rather than reflecting a fundamental mismatch in remarried couples.
