Summary
The relationship with a spouse is an important part of Service members' operation readiness and influences recovery from injuries or post-traumatic stress symptoms upon return from deployment. This study examined mental health, relationship satisfaction, and social support reported by military spouses compared with civilian spouses. Results indicate military involvement can have an impact on relationship satisfaction.
