Summary
Questionnaires of married couples (U.S. Army husband and civilian wife) investigated reported meaningfulness of service in relation to Army couples' marital satisfaction while accounting for Service members' posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. For spouses, perceived meaningfulness of service is linked with overall higher marital satisfaction, even when accounting for Service members' PTSD symptoms.
