Although adjusting to health-related stress is a critical process, existing individual and family stress and coping theories are inadequate for understanding the processes that occur in the context of a couple coping with health-related stress. Focusing on the past decade, this review identifies empirical studies adopting a dyadic perspective to examine couples coping with health-related stress. Four dyadic coping theories are identified, and this emerging theoretical landscape is summarized and evaluated. Despite advances in dyadic conceptualizations of stress and coping, the field lacks a comprehensive framework to guide research and integrate the diverse emerging theories. An ecological intra-and interpersonal process (EIIPP) framework is introduced to integrate current work in dyadic coping and to incorporate enduring contributions from the work on individual and family-systems stress and coping that predates the explicitly dyadic conceptualizations. The review concludes by highlighting potential contributions of the EIIPP framework for advancing the family field.
