Abstract
This chapter analyzes the transition to adulthood, a crucial step for intergenerational transmission, usually closely connected with the transition to life as a couple. Today life paths are no longer as uniform and linear as they used to be. The features of today’s adult life are combined in many different ways. Different patterns of transition to adulthood and life as a couple in European countries will be analyzed, as well as a variety of approaches for interpreting the morphogenesis occurred in the last 50 years, including the relational paradigm.
