Numerous studies examined the association between character strengths—positive traits that comprise a good personality—and satisfaction with different aspects of life. However, few studies explored the connection between character strengths and marital satisfaction. The present study, conducted on a sample of 177 married couples, aims to examine this connection. Given the findings of previous studies, showing that both spouses’ personality traits contribute to relationship quality, we expect to find a connection between the spouses’ strengths and their marital quality. Using actor-partner interdependence model analyses, we examined the effects of three strengths factors (caring, self-control, and inquisitiveness) of both the individual and the partner on marital quality, evaluated by indices measuring marital satisfaction, intimacy, and burnout. Our findings revealed that the individual’s three strengths factors were related to all of his or her marital quality indices (actor effects). Moreover, women’s caring, inquisitiveness and self-control factors were associated with men’s marital quality, and men’s inquisitiveness and self-control factors were associated with women’s marital quality (partner effects). Our findings join the efforts of previous studies to understand the association between character strengths and the various elements of mental well-being, especially romantic relationships.

大量研究检验了性格优势（包括良好人格的积极特质）与对生活各个方面的满意度之间的联系。但是，很少有研究探讨性格优势与婚姻满意度之间的联系。本研究以177对已婚夫妇为样本进行，旨在检验这种联系。鉴于先前的研究结果，表明配偶双方的性格特征都对夫妻关系的质量有帮助，因此我们希望在夫妻的实力与婚姻质量之间找到联系。使用演员-伴侣相互依存模型分析，我们通过测量婚姻满意度，亲密感和倦怠的指标评估了个人和伴侣的三个优势因素（关怀，自我控制和好奇心）对婚姻质量的影响。我们的发现表明，个人的三个优势因素与他或她的所有婚姻质量指数（演员效应）有关。此外，女性的关怀，好奇心和自我控制因素与男性的婚姻质量有关，而男性的好奇心和自我控制因素与女性的婚姻质量有关（伴侣效应）。我们的发现与以前的研究一起努力，以了解性格优势与心理健康的各个要素（尤其是恋爱关系）之间的关联。男性的好奇心和自我控制因素与女性的婚姻质量（伴侣效应）有关。我们的发现与以前的研究一起努力，以了解性格优势与心理健康的各个要素（尤其是恋爱关系）之间的关联。男性的好奇心和自我控制因素与女性的婚姻质量（伴侣效应）有关。我们的发现与以前的研究一起努力，以了解性格优势与心理健康的各个要素（尤其是恋爱关系）之间的关联。
