Abstract

This study seeks to answer the following research questions: What traits are necessary to produce a healthy relationship in a couple where one spouse has a long-term, non-terminal physical disability and what is characteristic of those traits? These are questions that began to identify and evaluate the traits in healthy couples. While many studies focus on factors that negatively affect marriages, this study will center on those traits that are seen to strengthen a marriage. Two methods of research were used. First, non-experimental, descriptive quantitative surveys to qualify healthy couples. Second, qualitative, personal interviews were conducted with the healthy couples. Commitment and communication are necessary traits for a healthy marriage with commitment being more essential. Commitment and communication are essential but no indication of which is more important.
