Abstract: The relationship between marital distress and psychiatric symptoms of wives and husbands was investigated by comparing the number, intensity, and types of symptoms reported by each spouse in a group of maritally-distressed couples. Wives reported a significantly higher number and intensity of symptoms on the overall SCL-90 and on four of the eight sub-scales. Possible explanations for these findings are discussed.
