TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored differences in the personality factors, attachment styles and coping strategies in couples with good and poor marital quality, and found that the husbands with poor quality had higher neuroticism, less extraversion, less secure attachment style, less problem focused coping and acceptance, and greater denial than those with good marital quality.
Abstract: Marital quality in connection to its demographical and psychological correlates has been studied extensively in the West. In India also, it has been given considerable attention, but adequate exploration of relevant psychological variables is still wanting. The present study was conceptualized in this context to explore differences in the Personality factors, Attachment styles and Coping strategies in couples with good and poor marital quality. Data were collected from 90 couples for initial screening. Finally 20 couples with good marital quality and 20 couples with poor marital quality were selected based on scores of Marital Quality Scale. The tools used for screening were Marital Quality Scale and General Health Questionnaire-28. Other tools consisted of Neo Five Factor Inventory, Attachment style Questionnaire, and Coping Check list. Analysis revealed that the husbands with poor marital quality had higher neuroticism, less extraversion, less secure attachment style, less problem focused coping and acceptance, and greater denial than those with good marital quality. Wives with poor marital quality differed significantly from the wives with good marital quality in terms of less religious coping, acceptance and social support. The findings of the study may be utilized for advising maritally distressed couples by enhancing their coping resources and utilizing attachment potentials for furtherance of quality of married life.

TL;DR: Changes in Neuroticism accompany parallel changes in relationship satisfaction in a large sample of married U.S. adults, suggesting an ongoing bidirectional influence between these constructs in enduring marriages.
Abstract: Objective The Big Five Model (BFM) of personality domains is significantly related to romantic relationship outcomes, particularly marital satisfaction. Few studies to date, however, have examined the BFM domains and relationship outcomes longitudinally. Method We used latent growth curve modeling to estimate the initial levels (intercept) and the rate of change (slope) in the BFM domains and marital satisfaction and determine if change in one construct was associated with change in the other. All available data were retained from participants who remained married to the same individual, as well as early waves for participants who divorced or were widowed, in the Midlife in the United States study (N = 1,965). We expected negative associations between (a) intercepts of Neuroticism and relationship satisfaction and (b) the intercept/slope of Neuroticism with change in marital satisfaction. The other BFM domains were expected to have positive effects on change in satisfaction. Results The results suggested that change over time in Neuroticism and Conscientiousness is detrimental to satisfaction, while initial levels of Conscientiousness may predict declining marital satisfaction. Conclusions Changes in Neuroticism accompany parallel changes in relationship satisfaction in a large sample of married U.S. adults, suggesting an ongoing bidirectional influence between these constructs in enduring marriages.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a definitionen und operationalisierungen der Konstrukte Beziehungs-and Partnerschaftsqualitat and Modelle der Partnerschaftsentwicklung vorgestellt sowie die am weitesten verbreiteten Modelle zum Kernstuck von Partnerschaften, der partnerschaftlichen Interaktion.
Abstract: In diesem Beitrag werden verschiedene Definitionen und Operationalisierungen der Konstrukte Beziehungs- und Partnerschaftsqualitat und Modelle der Partnerschaftsentwicklung vorgestellt sowie die am weitesten verbreiteten Modelle zum Kernstuck von Partnerschaften, der partnerschaftlichen Interaktion. Es folgt eine Abhandlung zum Konstrukt Partnerschaftszufriedenheit, zu den am haufigsten replizierten Antezedenzien der Partnerschaftszufriedenheit bzw. Partnerschaftsauflosung sowie Modellen zur Vorhersage und Erklarung der Partnerschaftserosion (Sound Relationship, bewaltigungspsychologischer Ansatz, kontextuelles Modell, kontextuelles Attributionsmodell, Vulnerabilitats-Stress-Adaptationsmodell, dyadisches Coping). Danach werden kognitions-emotionspsychologische Modelle und Befunde zur Bewaltigung von Alltags- und Entwicklungsaufgaben in Partnerschaft en dargestellt sowie ausgewahlte Befunde zur Verteilung von Macht, Rollen und Aufgaben. Den Abschluss bilden Befunde und Theorien zur Transmission partnerschaftlicher Interaktion und partnerschaftlichen Konfliktlosens von der Eltern- auf die Kindergeneration, die zeigen, dass problematische Konfliktlosungsmuster nicht nur die Elternbeziehung bedrohen, sondern auch weit reichende Effekte auf angehorige Kinder haben.

TL;DR: In this article, the role of relationship with God in couples' adjustment to the threat of breast cancer was explored and the transactional relationship between each individual's relationship withGod and the other's support and well-being was explored.
Abstract: This preliminary study explored the role of relationship with God in couples’ adjustment to the threat of breast cancer. Women and their partners were assessed on positive and negative relationship with God, perceived and received couple support, and depression and marital adjustment prior to the women receiving their biopsy results. Analyses were conducted on women and partners separately to evaluate individual adjustment. In addition, analyses were conducted to explore the transactional relationship between each individual’s relationship with God and the other’s support and well-being. In terms of women’s adjustment, a negative relationship with God and feeling a burden in the couple relationship predicted greater depressive mood. For partners, their relationship with God did not predict their personal well-being after controlling for various support measures. In terms of transactional couple adjustment, women’s relationship with God did not predict partners’ well-being. However, the partner’s negative relationship with God significantly predicted poorer marital adjustment for women after controlling for the partners’ marital adjustment and support measures. Findings highlight the potential impact of spiritual struggle in the couple’s adjustment to a stressor such as the threat of breast cancer.

TL;DR: Priyadharshini et al. as discussed by the authors found that there is a significant negative correlation between sexual intimacy and marital stability, which is defined as whether a couple in a marriage remains together, instead of separating or getting divorced.
Abstract: Marital Stability is interpreted as whether a couple in a marriage remains together, instead of separating or getting divorced. It is also called as marital longevity or duration of marriage. The aim of the study is to find the relationship between different psychosocial factor (marital adjustment, love, personal intimacy personality, dyadic coping, and spirituality) and marital stability. For the purpose of sampling, thirty married couples were randomly selected using stratified random sampling. The measuring tools used were Locke-Wallace marital adjustment questionnaire (Marital adjustment), Love scale (Love), Personal assessment of intimacy in relationship (Personal intimacy), Big five inventory (personality), Dyadic coping inventory (Dyadic coping) and the daily spiritual experience scale (Spirituality).Six null hypotheses were raised and tested using descriptive and inferential statistics (Percentage, mean, standard deviation and correlation). The research finding shows that there is a significant negative correlation between sexual intimacy Original Research Article Priyadharshini and Gopalan; AJARR, 7(4): 1-16, 2019; Article no.AJARR.53298 2 and marital stability(r= -.44 and p<.01). All other variables (Marital adjustment, love, personal intimacy, personality, dyadic coping and spirituality) are not shown to be contributing to marital stability.
