在16对婚前夫妇中前瞻性地研究了起源、家庭环境特征和夫妻共识建立过程在婚姻关系发展中的作用。出现了三个重要的发现。首先，发现出身家庭环境的各个维度与夫妇当前关系的满意度之间存在显着相关性。第二，夫妇的能力达成共识，重要的人际关系的措施似乎是重要的调解人之间的关联的起源家庭环境和目前的关系满意度。第三，出现了重要的性别差异，重复和扩展了先前的研究结果，即妇女在婚姻中扮演“关系专家”的角色。作为一个群体，这些发现最好用早婚的发展模型来解释，该模型设想年轻夫妇面临两个共同的任务：定义他们的家庭遗产和他们新的关系身份。总体而言，研究家庭起源特征和建立共识过程作为亲密关系命运的关键决定因素的重要性得到了强有力的支持。在文献回顾中发现的性别差异，以及本研究的结果，在很大程度上被家庭治疗的理论和实践所忽视。需要在研究和理论构建两个方面做出努力，以增加我们对先前家庭经验被带入当前亲密关系的机制的理解。
The roles of origin family environmental characteristics and couple consensus‐building process within the development of marital relationships were examined prospectively in 16 premarital couples. Three important findings emerged. First, significant correlations were found between dimensions of origin family environment and the reported level of satisfaction within the couple's current relationship. Second, measures of the couple's ability to reach consensus concerning important interpersonal relationships appeared to be important mediators of the association between origin family environment and current relationship satisfaction. Third, important gender differences emerged that replicate and extend prior findings that portray women in the role of “relationship specialist” within their marriages. As a group, these findings were best explained by a developmental model of early marriage that envisions the young couple as facing two entwined tasks: to define both their family heritage and their new relationship identity. Overall, the importance of examining family‐of‐origin characteristics and consensus‐building process as critical determinants of the fate of intimate relationships received strong support. The gender differences found in the literature reviewed, as well as the results of this study, have largely been overlooked by the theory and practice of family therapy. Efforts on both the research and theory construction fronts are needed to increase our understanding of the mechanisms whereby prior family experience is brought forward into current intimate relationships.
