The dynamics of spousal relationships in very late life: transitions, psychological health and longevity

这项研究将为长期成功婚姻的动态提供难得的见解。它还将提供对衰老的两分体的理解。在一个很大比例的婚姻以离婚告终的社会中，这项工作有可能确定有利于维持婚姻关系的个体差异因素。此外，对来自不同社会经济背景的夫妇如何在自己家中度过晚年生活或在关键的晚年过渡时期进行调查，也将对那些为这些过渡做计划的个人或政策制定者有益。

This research will provide a rare insight into the dynamics of very-long term successful marriages. It will also provide an understanding of the dyad in ageing well. In a society where a large percentage of marriages end in divorce, this work has the potential to identify individual differences factors that are conducive to sustaining the marital relationship. In addition, an examination of how couples from different socio-economic backgrounds navigate later life in their own homes or during key late life transitions will also be beneficial for those individuals or policy makers planning for these transitions.
