目的：本研究考虑了三组夫妇的婚姻质量变化是否与婚姻早期的饮酒模式有关：一致不饮酒，一致饮酒，通常与配偶一起饮酒，一致饮酒，通常与配偶分开饮酒。方法：对418对新婚夫妇的婚姻满意度和饮酒行为进行评估，并在结婚一周年和两周年时重新进行评估。横断面分析比较了每个评估的夫妻，多层次模型评估了婚姻满意度随时间的变化。结果：在每次评估中，经常与伴侣一起喝酒的丈夫和妻子报告的婚姻满意度更高。随着时间的推移，丈夫和妻子的婚姻满意度都在下降。当我们根据三组评估婚姻质量的变化时，每组的丈夫都经历了类似的婚姻质量下降。然而，在妻子中，下降的速度却不一样。虽然不喝酒的妻子和经常和丈夫一起喝酒的妻子最初的婚姻满意度相似，但不喝酒的妻子比和丈夫一起喝酒的妻子的婚姻满意度下降得更大。不饮酒组的妻子的变化速度与经常与配偶分开饮酒的妻子非常相似。结论：这些发现表明，饮酒可能是夫妻社交的一部分，可能会增加互动，从而提高婚姻满意度。
Objective: This research considered whether changes in marital quality over the early years of marriage were related to patterns of alcohol use among three groups of couples: congruent nondrinkers, congruent drinkers who usually drank with their spouses and congruent drinkers who usually drank apart from their spouses. Method: Newlywed couples (N = 418) were assessed for marital satisfaction and drinking behaviors and then were reassessed at their first and second anniversaries. Cross-sectional analyses compared couples at each assessment and multilevel modeling assessed changes in marital satisfaction over time. Results: At each assessment, husbands and wives who usually drank with their partners reported greater levels of marital satisfaction. Over time, marital satisfaction declined for both husbands and wives. When we assessed changes in marital quality based on the three groups, husbands in each group experienced similar declines in marital quality. Among wives, however, the rate of decline was not the same. Although wives in the nondrinking group and wives who usually drank with their husbands had similar initial marital satisfaction, the nondrinkers experienced a greater decline in marital satisfaction than the wives who drank with their husbands. The rate of change for the wives in the nondrinking group was quite similar to wives who more often drank apart from their spouses. Conclusion: These findings suggest that alcohol use may be a part of the couple's socializing and may increase interaction, thereby increasing marital satisfaction.
