研究了不同配偶年龄（40-50 岁或 60-70 岁）和相对婚姻满意度（满意和不满意）的长期婚姻（N=156）。配偶独立完成人口、婚姻和健康调查问卷，然后参与基于实验室的程序，重点关注冲突领域和快乐来源。调查结果支持了对老年婚姻的积极看法。与中年婚姻相比，老年夫妇表现出（a）冲突的可能性减少，并且在多个领域（包括儿童）获得快乐的可能性更大，（b）整体心理和身体健康水平相当，以及（c）快乐来源的性别差异较小。女性的婚姻满意度与健康之间的关系比男性更强。在美满的婚姻中，妻子和丈夫的健康状况是相当的。在不满意的婚姻中，妻子比丈夫报告更多的心理和身体健康问题。
Long-term marriages (N= 156) varying in spouses' age (40–50 years or 60–70 years) and relative marital satisfaction (satisfied and dissatisfied) were studied. Spouses independently completed demographic, marital, and health questionnaires and then participated in a laboratory-based procedure focused on areas of conflict and sources of pleasure. Findings supported a positive view of older marriages. Compared with middle-aged marriages, older couples evidenced (a) reduced potential for conflict and greater potential for pleasure in several areas (including children),(b) equivalent levels of overall mental and physical health, and (c) lesser gender differences in sources of pleasure. The relation between marital satisfaction and health was stronger for women than for men. In satisfied marriages, wives' and husbands' health was equivalent; in dissatisfied marriages, wives reported more mental and physical health problems than did their husbands.
