- Ross, D. B., O'Neal, C. W., Arnold, A. L., & Mancini, J. A. (2017). Money matters in marriage: Financial concerns, warmth, and hostility among military couples. Journal of Family and Economic Issues, 38(4), 572–581. doi:10.1007/s10834-017-9522-y
- Couples with more financial concerns often have more marital problems; however, less is known about the money matters in military couples. This study surveyed 219 military couples regarding their financial management concerns, marital interactions (warmth and hostility), and marital quality. Results indicated that individuals with more financial concerns showed more hostility and less warmth toward their spouse, which in turn was linked to poor marital quality.
