Traumatic Events and Marital Well-Being

Paper Summary:

This paper reviews the idea of Bowman, Riba and Truman that marital well being can be affected by numerous forms of trauma throughout the marital partnership. The paper gives the example of when one partner suffers from a major illness a strain is immediately placed on the relationship. This is especially true if both members of the marriage pact are in disagreement about the illness, the severity of it, or the long-term affects that it may have on the family. Yet, the paper reports that when there is a joint perception of the illness the couple will be less likely to experience negative outcomes in the marriage and be successful at working together to address the illness.
