Marquardt is director of the Center for Marriage and Families at the
Institute for American Values in New York City. She is the author of
Between Two Worlds: The Inner Lives of Children of Divorce (Crown, 2005
and Three Rivers Press, 2006). Based on the first
nationally-representative study of grown children of divorce in the
U.S., Marquardt argues that while an amicable divorce is better than a
bitter one, even amicable divorces profoundly shape the inner lives of
children. The book was reviewed in the Washington Post and featured in
Newsweek, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Reader’s Digest,
and elsewhere.
Marquardt has
appeared three times on NBC’s Today Show as well as CNN’s Anderson
Cooper 360 and Talk Back Live, ABC’s World News Tonight with Peter
Jennings, Fox’s O’Reilly Factor, CBS’s Early Show, PBS’s Religion and
Ethics Newsweekly, NPR’s All Things Considered Weekend Edition and Diane
Rehm Show and The Michael Medved Show.
Her writings have
been published in the New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles
Times, Chicago Tribune, Philadelphia Inquirer, Boston Globe, Christian
Science Monitor, First Things, and Christian Century. She is co-author
of a ground-breaking study on college women’s attitudes about sex and
dating on campus, titled
Hooking Up, Hanging Out, and Hoping for Mr. Right: College Women on
Dating and Mating Today, featured widely in the media and by
columnists including Maureen Dowd and William Raspberry. Marquardt is
also principal investigator of an internationally-released report titled
The Revolution in Parenthood: The Emerging Global Clash Between Adult
Rights and Children’s Needs. She has been a blogger at the
