Data are provided on childhood family background and experiences, sexual practices with men, reasons for entering marriage, and the "coming out" process. The frequency of childhood sexual experiences was associated with unsafe sexual practices with other men in adulthood. Attitudes toward lesbians and gay men were more negative now than at the time of marriage. The two most frequent reasons for marriage were that it seemed natural, and a desire for children and family life. The results support the hypothesis that internalised homophobia is a factor that leads men into mixed-orientation marriages. Cognitive consistency theory is used to explain the eventual marriage breakdown.

Although most child protection cases were characterised by multiple interlinked problems, the factors identified as differentiating chronic and isolated involvement with child protection were protective factors (e.g., social support), the degree to which parental risk factors were enduring problems and the type of child protection service provision.
