Funded Activity Summary

Relationship self-regulation as a predictor of marital satisfaction and stability in the early years of marriage. Marital distress and separation are major social problems in Australia. Marital problems are associated with domestic violence, poor health and adjustment of adults and children, and substantial financial costs to individual families and society. The current project tests whether the effort partners expend to sustain the relationship helps maintain relationship satisfaction. If true, relationship education programs can be structured to teach people how to enhance their relationships. Effective relationship education could significantly improve the health and quality of life of partners and their children, and reduce national and community costs associated with marital problems.
