本研究探讨了以色列持久婚姻中丈夫和妻子的婚姻质量与全球福祉之间的关系。五十一对结婚至少 40 年的夫妇回答了有关其婚姻组成部分的逐项问题和有关其婚姻满意度的总体问题。研究结果表明，虽然丈夫的婚姻满意度在很大程度上取决于婚姻关系的内容，并且与他们的总体幸福感无关，但妻子的婚姻满意度不仅受到婚姻内容和整体幸福感的影响，而且还对她们的幸福感做出了贡献。这些发现与 Bernard (1972) 的观点一致，即婚姻质量对妻子的心理健康比对丈夫的心理健康更重要。然而，与关于婚姻质量和全球福祉之间关系的其他发现一样，这些发现是针对特定群体的，因为这种关系取决于婚姻发生的背景。
This study examines the relationship between marital quality and global well-being among husbands and wives in enduring marriages in Israel. Fifty-one couples married for at least 40 years answered both itemized questions about the components of their marriage and global questions about their marital satisfaction. The findings indicate that, while the husbands' marital satisfaction was dependant largely on the content of the marital relationship and not related to their general well-being, the wives' marital satisfaction was affected by both the content of their marriage and their global well-being and, moreover, contributed to their well-being. These findings are consistent with Bernard's (1972) contention that marital quality is more important to wives' mental health than to husbands'. Like other findings on the relationship between marital quality and global well-being, however, these findings are cohort-specific, since the relationship depends on the context in which the marriage takes place.
