在当前美国军事行动中经历过部署和重返社会的军人夫妇经常感受到这种经历的危险和影响的压力。目前的研究评估了300对夫妇的样本，这些夫妇的丈夫是现役军人，配偶是平民，他们在调查前一年(2007年进行)经历了一次部署。妻子通常报告说，与丈夫相比，他们的情绪压力更大。总体而言，报告收入较低、经济压力较大、认为需要更多支持、不确定如何获得支持、婚姻冲突更多、对军队和当前任务不太满意的夫妇压力更大。丈夫打架也会给丈夫和妻子带来更大的压力。此外，对于妻子来说，压力与更大的儿童行为问题和军队对家庭的担忧程度较低有关。研究结果建议对军人夫妇进行干预，以帮助他们应对军人生活和部署的挑战。
Military couples who have experienced deployment and reintegration in current U.S. military operations frequently experience stress regarding the dangers and effects of such experiences. The current study evaluated a sample of 300 couples with an active duty Army husband and civilian spouse who experienced a deployment within the year before the survey (conducted in 2007). Wives generally reported greater levels of emotional stress compared with husbands. Overall, higher levels of stress were found for couples who reported lower income and greater economic strain, perceive the need for more support and are unsure about how to get support, have more marital conflict, and are generally less satisfied with the Army and the current mission. Husband combat exposure was also associated with more stress for husbands and wives. Additionally, for wives, stress was related to greater child behavior problems and a sense of less Army concern for families. The results suggest areas of intervention with military couples to help them cope with the challenges of military life and deployment.
