- The deployment of a spouse who serves in the military can place additional stress on a marriage. This study sought to examine the explicit relationship between prior deployments, combat exposure, and symptoms of PTSD on couples’ level of marital satisfaction. Findings revealed that more deployments, especially combat-related, lowered marital satisfaction among military couples.
