The Journals of Gerontology: Series B, 2014, vol. 69, issue 3, 482-492

Abstract: Objectives. The pathways linking spousal health to marital quality in later life have been little examined at the population level. We develop a conceptual model that links married older adults’ physical health and that of their spouse to positive and negative dimensions of marital quality via psychological well-being of both partners and their sexual activity.
