The degree to which individual self-rated physical health and concordance of self-rated physical health between partners are associated with relationship satisfaction was examined in a community sample of 399 couples with children. Couples completed self-report assessments of physical health (general health and physical functioning) and relationship satisfaction. Results suggest unique associations between partners’ general health and their own relationship satisfaction. Further, higher between-partner concordance in physical functioning was uniquely associated with higher relationship satisfaction in women. Understanding associations between health and relationship processes is crucial and has implications for future research on couple-based interventions to promote physical health.

自我评价的身体健康与有子女的夫妻之间的关系满意度之间的关联

在399名有孩子的夫妇的社区样本中，研究了个体自我评估的身体健康状况以及伴侣之间自我评估的身体健康状况与关系满意度之间的关联程度。夫妻完成对身体健康（总体健康和身体机能）和关系满意度的自我报告评估。结果表明，伴侣的整体健康状况和他们自己的关系满意度之间存在独特的关联。此外，女性在身体功能上更高的伙伴间一致性与更高的关系满意度有着独特的联系。了解健康与关系过程之间的关联至关重要，并且对未来基于夫妇的干预措施促进身体健康的研究具有重要意义。
