ABSTRACT
In this review we are commenting on the chapters in this volume from the context of our research on marital processes. We use our experience in observational research of married couples to outline important areas of study needed in adolescent romantic couple research. We also tackle the developmental themes of identity formation and intimacy that are addressed by several of the authors in this volume and discuss how these areas are recognized within the context of marital relationships and how they might be represented in adolescent romantic relationships.
