The author has spent a decade examining and analysing marital communication. Basing her research upon statistical and mathematical models, she has identified five discrete marital types, valid across a number of sociological and demographic dimensions: Traditionals, Independents, Separates, Separate-Traditionals, and Traditional-Independents. These classifications form a scheme for exploring ways in which couples vary in their values about marriage, in their communication with one another and in the level of marital happiness they achieve.Having both introduced these major themes and concepts, and demonstrated their validity, the author addresses the issues of power and conflict in marriage, and considers verbal and nonverbal methods of marital communication. She also examines the ways in which actors' ways of conceptualizing marriage will affect a marriage. In the final section she proposes directions for future research and theory development.This fascinating volume furthers the understanding of communication in marriage, and will thus be invaluable for both professionals and students in the areas of interpersonal communication and family studies.
