Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marital Communication provides insight into healthy relationships for those who want to better understand key communication processes between long-term, committed, romantic partners. Writing with students, teachers, researchers, practitioners, and couples in mind, this book uses marriage as a proving ground to understand the processes necessary to build and maintain positive romantic relationships. Marital Communication develops the idea that marriage is a distinctive communication context (long-term, romantic, and committed) that uniquely influences various relationship processes. It focuses on three essential elements needed for healthy marital functioning: positive everyday communication, intimacy and love, and productive conflict management. The book finishes by describing how these essential elements change across the life-span, by examining marriage’s dark side, and by focusing on the use of forgiveness to ensure a healthy longevity. Soundly documented with current research and written in a manner accessible to student and researcher alike, Marital Communication is an ideal supplement for current courses focusing on family communication, interpersonal and relational communication, and conflict. It is also an excellent, resource for the relationship professional.

Book excerpt: According to Bradbury and Fincham's contextual model of relationship conflict, communication behaviour is likely influenced by relationship factors at both the distal and proximal level. The overall goal of the present study was thus to build on previous research on marital conflict by examining the relations between relevant distal (i.e. marital satisfaction and depressive symptomatology), and proximal relationship variables (i.e. event-dependent expectancies and appraisals), and communication behaviour. Our specific aims were threefold: a) to explore the impact of marital satisfaction and depression on couples' expectancies for marital problem-solving discussions; b) to examine the effect of such expectancies on actual communication behaviour, after controlling for marital satisfaction and depressive symptoms; and c) to determine whether expectancies and actual communication behaviour influence couples' post-discussion appraisals, even after controlling for levels of depression and marital satisfaction. A total of 76 married and cohabitating couples across varying levels of marital satisfaction and depression participated in this study. All couples engaged in two marital problem-solving discussions, one in which the husband wanted change and the second in which the wife wanted change. Before engaging in these problem-solving discussions, spouses' expectancies for resolving the topic of conflict were assessed using both affective and cognitive items. After each discussion ended, participants also rated their cognitive and affective appraisals of the interaction. Results showed that higher levels of marital satisfaction predicted more positive expectancies (both affective and cognitive) for successful communication in the upcoming interactions. Depressive symptoms, however, were only found to impact couples' feelings in anticipation of the discussions, and not their cognitive expectancies. With regards to actual communication behaviour, after controlling for the effects of marital satisfaction and depressive symptoms, more positive expectations for an upcoming conflict discussion were associated with less negative communication behaviours during the discussion. Spouses' cognitive post-discussion appraisals of the conflict interactions were positively associated with individuals' own expectancies going in to these discussions, as well as their partners' expectancies over and above the effects of depression and marital satisfaction. Finally, actual communication behaviour also influenced appraisals, such that those who spent more time during the conflict discussions engaging in positive behaviours and less time engaging in negative communication behaviours reported greater satisfaction with the discussions. Implications of these results for couples' therapy are briefly discussed.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research has long been interested in understanding marital and parent-child dynamics and the role communication plays in shaping a variety of outcomes for spouses, parents, and children separately. Family systems theory (Bowen, 1978; Minuchin, 1974) highlights the interdependent relationships that exist among family members and subsystems within the family. This study applied assumptions from family systems theory and the theoretical foundations underlie Fitzpatrick's (1988) marital typology and Baumrind's (1967, 1971, 1991a) parenting styles typology to explore similarities and differences within and across marital and parental subsystems and to examine how they contribute to marital quality. The first goal of this dissertation is to examine the extent to which individuals enact similar communication behaviors in their roles as spouses and parents. The second goal is to explore how co-parenting relationship in the form of similarity of spouses' parental communication and their perceptions of relational power, explain marital outcomes. Specifically, this dissertation investigates the extent to which husbands and wives perceive and demonstrate similar communication behaviors of responsiveness and control in their parental interactions and the impact that such inter-parental similarity may have on marital outcomes in terms of relational satisfaction and appraisals of a partner's parenting behavior. The third goal of this study is to examine how members' perceived marital and parental communication are consistent or inconsistent with the way independent coders observe that communication. The final goal of this dissertation is to examine how biases in perceived versus observed marital communication predict marital satisfaction. 51 heterosexual couples and their first biological, 3-6 year old child participated in this study. Spouses first completed close-ended survey questions about their marital relationship, their beliefs about marriage, and their attitudes about parenting. Next, each parent was asked to work individually with the child on two tasks that were challenging for their child. While one parent worked with the child, the other parent watched the parent-child interaction from a different room and evaluated his/her spouseś parenting strategies using a variety of closed-ended survey items. After the first spouse had completed the tasks with the child the spouses switched roles. Finally, the parents engaged in a conversation about their thoughts on the interactions with the child, followed by completing a questionnaire about their perceptions of the marital interaction. Independent coders rated marital and parent-child interactions for observed marital and parental responsiveness and control. Results indicated that responsiveness was correlated across marital and parental subsystems, but control was not. In terms of inter-parental similarity, observed parental responsiveness and both perceived and observed parental control were positively correlated across spouses. Multi-level modeling (HLM) revealed that similarity of observed responsiveness and observed control were each associated with more positive evaluations of a partner's parenting behavior. In addition, similarity across spouses in terms of observed parental responsiveness and perceived and observed parental control were positively associated with marital satisfaction. Marital communication was correlated across participants' reports and coders' ratings but not parental communication. Finally, marital satisfaction increased when perceived marital responsiveness was higher than observed marital responsiveness, and when perceived marital control was lower than observed marital control. These findings are discussed in terms of their theoretical, operational, and practical implications, and directions for future research are suggested.

This comprehensive book discusses in detail the theory, the theory’s application to the therapist’s own family, clinical applications, organizational applications, and societal applications. This unique resource examines the value of the triangle concept for understanding the emotional process of the family, the organization, and society.

The text includes several case studies and vignettes to illustrate concepts.
