Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) predict physical and mental health. We examined dyadic differences in intimate partner relationship health by ACE score among couples with low to moderate income enrolled in a relationship education program. Overall, we found a high prevalence of ACEs, disproportionate representation in the highest risk ACE group, and a significant effect between ACEs and indicators of mental and relational health. Implications for counselors include support for an ACE‐informed approach to couples counseling services, as well as a holistic and systemic view of mental and relational health.

童年不良经历的二元影响：心理和关系健康的咨询意义

儿童不良经历（ACE）预测身体和精神健康。我们通过ACE评分调查了参加关系教育计划的中低收入夫妇在亲密伴侣关系健康方面的二元差异。总体而言，我们发现ACE的患病率很高，在最高风险的ACE组中所占比例过高，并且ACE与心理和关系健康指标之间存在显着影响。对辅导员的影响包括支持以ACE方式告知夫妇的辅导服务，以及对心理和关系健康的整体和系统的看法。
