Emotional behavior in long-term marriage

Article Abstract:

A study of the attitudes of 156 middle-aged and older married couples revealed wives to be more susceptible to emotional turmoil and husbands as defensive by nature. In older couples, conflict resolution was less severe on their mind sets in comparison to middle-aged marriages. Age, gender and marital satisfaction are attributed to the distinct emotional responses of individuals.
