Chronic Illness in Couples: Selected Characteristics, including Wife's Satisfaction with and Perception of Marital Relationships

Abstract

A sample of 147 families in which neither spouse had a chronic illness was compared to 43 families in which the husband had a chronic illness and to 26 families in which the wife was chronically ill. Mean scores for wife's satisfactions with marriage and with several other husband-wife interactions were significantly lower for wives with chronically ill husbands. Little difference existed when the sample was divided on wife's chronic illness.
