“…Age and years married have been found to be predictors of relationship satisfaction where satisfaction in the relationship increases with age and the number of years married (Glenn, 1990;Orbuch, House, Mero, & Webster, 1996). These researchers suggested that relationship satisfaction increases after children leave the home.…”

How couples handle money has become a popular subject among scholars, practitioners, and the popular press. However, little is known about how finances should be treated within a clinical context. This study examined the financial management roles in which couples participate and their satisfaction level with these roles as well as couples' communication tactics surrounding money and their impact on relationship and financial satisfaction. Results suggested that having shared goals and values about money were a stronger predictor of relationship satisfaction than were communication strategies. In addition, satisfaction with one's financial management role participation may be more important than self-reported financial management roles each partner performs. In this study, financial management roles included 19 areas, including responsibilities such as bookkeeping, financial decision-making, and taxes.

“…Тем не менее Рискин и Фаунс [Riskin, Faunce, 1972] указали на то, что «заметно недостает… концепций среднего уровня, а также шагов, с помощью которых можно было бы соотнести слабоупорядоченные исследовательские данные и переменные с высокоупорядоченными абстракция-ми» [Там же: 400]. <…> Во-вторых, теории должны определять механизмы изменений, происходящих в ходе брака [Duck, Sants, 1983;Furman, 1984;Gale, Vetere, 1987;Glenn, 1990;O'Leary, Smith, 1991;Rutter, 1981]. Теоретики утверждают, что определяющим свойством любых близких отношений является их развитие во времени.…”

“…В-третьих, теория должна учитывать изменчивость брачных отношений меж-ду супружескими парами и внутри них во времени [Baltes, Reese, Lipsitt, 1980;Belsky, Rovine, 1990;Glenn, 1990;Wamboldt, Reiss, 1989]. Полноценная теория брака должна объяснять больше, чем просто причины разводов.…”

“…However, a review of marriage literature in the United States suggests a wide variability in the definition and operationalization of marital quality (Xu 1998). According to the so-called ''individual feelings school'' (Glenn 1990), marital quality should be treated as a global evaluation of the marriage, which makes it a subjective and unidimensional concept (Norton 1983). Such a stand contrasts with the ''multidimensional school'', according to which it is ambiguous to blend several dimensions, such as positive and negative dimensions, in one scale (Johnson et al 1986).…”

“…Yet, a vast social-psychological literature shows that marital quality is a multidimensional phenomenon. Besides perceived stability, it includes other evaluative dimensions such as relationship satisfaction, behavioural dimensions like disagreement and interaction (Johnson et al 1986;Glenn 1990), and value consensus (Spanier 1976).…”

This study examines whether partner relationship quality influences fertility, and if so, in which direction and which aspects of relationship quality are relevant. Competing hypotheses are tested. One hypothesis assumes that higher relationship quality leads to higher rates of childbearing, as a high-quality relationship offers the most favourable environment to raise children. An opposite hypothesis expects that lower relationship quality leads to higher rates of childbearing, as couples might have children in order to improve their relationship. Hazard analyses are performed using three waves of the Panel Study on Social Integration in the Netherlands. Findings indicate that positive as well as negative interaction between partners has a negative effect on first-and higher-order birth rates. This suggests that couples are most likely to have children if they do not have too much negative interaction, but neither interact in a very positive way. Value consensus negatively influences higher-order birth rates.Keywords Fertility Á Panel study Á Relationship quality Á The Netherlands Résumé Cette étude examine l'influence de la qualité de la relation avec le partenaire sur la fécondité, et cherche à identifier les aspects de la relation les plus pertinents par rapport à cette question. Différentes hypothèses sont explorées. La (2009) 25: 27-44 DOI 10.1007/s10680-008-9156-8 première postule que plus la qualité de la relation est bonne, plus la fécondité est élevée, car une relation de bonne qualité offre le contexte le plus favorable pour élever des enfants. A l'opposé, une deuxième hypothèse postule que plus la qualité de la relation est mauvaise, plus la fécondité est élevée, car les couples pourraient avoir des enfants pour améliorer leur relation. Des modèles de durée sont utilisés pour analyser les trois vagues du Panel d'Etude de l'Intégration Sociale aux PaysBas. Il apparaît que les interactions positives, de même que les interactions néga-tives entre partenaires ont une influence négative sur les naissances de rang 1 et sur les suivantes. Ce résultat suggère que les couples ont le plus de chances d'avoir des enfants s'ils ont des interactions qui ne sont ni trop bonnes, ni trop mauvaises. L'accord entre partenaires au niveau du système de valeurs influence de façon négative les naissances de rang supérieur.Mots-clés fécondité Á étude de panel Á qualité de la relation Á Pays-Bas
