Abstract
When crises occur, even strong marriages are shaken. Most crises that happen in the lives of a couple, however, affect one spouse more than the other, such as a job loss, an accident, serious illness, or death of a family member. In the best of circumstances the crisis is short-lived, the less affected person becomes a major source of support for his or her mate, and the couple, coping together, survive the storm, heal, and get on with their lives.
