Predicting marital and parent functioning in dyads and triads: a longitudinal investigation of marital processes

Article Abstract:

A longitudinal analysis of 25 couples' marital communication before parenthood and five years later is conducted. The study aims to determine the effects of prechild marital quality on parent-child relationships and family level functioning. Results reveal that the quality of marriage before the birth of children has a significant impact on later marital interaction with children. Furthermore, early marital conflicts are more likely to continue and affect triadic interactions.
