| Annotation | Using data from 191 later-life couples across 14 days, patterns of husband and wife religious/spiritual activities were explored, as well as how those activities predicted daily marital processes and how they moderated the links between daily physical health challenges and marital interactions. Husband and wife reports of religious/spiritual influence were linked with their own positive and negative marital interactions (`actor' effects). However, only husband religious/spiritual influence was linked with wife marital interactions (`partner' effects). Religious/spiritual influence moderated the link between health challenges and marital interactions for wives. Findings suggest a buffering effect of religious/spiritual activities on daily health challenges for older wives. (JL). |
