[Marital feedback behavior: relations between feedback activity of the partner and feedback quality, duration of the marriage and ability of the marriage to function].

The effect of the quality of feedback and the feedback activity of partners on the feedback behavior of married controls, who differed with regard to the duration and the functioning of their marriages, was investigated. 106 married couples were divided into a group of disturbed marriages in the first half of life (GJE), a group of disturbed marriages in the second half of life (GAE), and harmonious marriages (HAE). During a conflict-conversation that was structured according to the technique of revealed differences the partners exchanged positive and negative feedback optically and acoustically. Corresponding to the frequency of the feedback active and less active partners were differentiated. In comparison with the couples of the HAE group, couples of the GAE group gave less feedback, especially less positive feedback. The less active partner of the GAE group gave significantly more negative feedback than the comparable partner of the HAE group. Differences between the GAE and the GJE group that can be called statistically significant do not exist. The results have been discussed with respect to their application.

[Role of migration processes in shaping the marriage structure of the Moscow population. I. The age, place of birth and nationality of those entering marriage].

A genetic-demographic study of the dynamics of the Moscow population marriage structure, with respect to the age of marriage, birthplace and nationality of newlyweds has been carried out by means of sample analysis of 1955 and 1980 marriage records; some other demographic and statistic data obtained during several years were also used. The mean age of marriage being practically constant, the proportion of newlyweds younger than 20 in the reproductive part of the Moscow population was shown to be considerably higher at the beginning of the XX century than at present. The number of couples married at the postreproductive age increased in 1980, as compared with 1955. The process of migration contributing to the genetic structure of subsequent Moscow generations has been characterized quantitatively and from the spatio-geographical point of view. High values (0.57 less than m less than 0.86) of the coefficient of migration to Moscow correspond to the period of non-controlled city population growth. As a result of administrative measures for regulation of the city population growth, the value of the coefficient of migration to Moscow decreased considerably by 1980, though still remained at a rather high level (m=0.40). The mean migration distance increased from 230 km, in the beginning of XIX century to 560 km in 1955 and 1100 in 1980. Especially great was the increase of genetic contribution from Eastern and Southern regions of the USSR. The variability of the national composition also increased. These changes in the geography of migration will cause the increasing reproduction of the entire country gene pool in Moscow as a panmixia center that may result in genetic originality of the Moscow population.

Micro determinants of female migration in a developing country: labor market, demographic marriage market and economic marriage market incentives.

A micro study of inter-regional migration by women in Nicaragua is presented. The authors "explore three sets of migratory incentives: (1) labor market factors such as usually are emphasized; (2) 'demographic marriage market' considerations (i.e., the probability of having a male companion)...; and (3) 'economic marriage market' considerations (i.e., the expected earnings from a companion given regional labor market conditions and assortative mating)....[They] use estimates of expected outcomes in origin, destination and third regions--conditional upon the woman's characteristics and upon regional differences in labor and marriage markets--to explore the consistency of actual migratory flows with these three sets of migratory incentives." Data are from a sample of approximately 4,000 women aged 15-45 who were interviewed in 1977-1978.

The defense of marriage act (DOMA): its impact on those seeking same sex marriages.

Recognition of same-sex marriage has been a goal of many in the gay rights movement. With the passage of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), same-sex relationships will not be afforded the same opportunities as heterosexual relationships. This paper will discuss the process leading to the passage of the DOMA, and will argue that the passage of this piece of legislation was a misuse of Article IV, Section 2 of the United States Constitution, "Full Faith and Credit". The Defense of Marriage Act represents an extraordinary act of Congress, as they have rarely passed legislation under this mandate and have never passed legislation that curtails full faith and credit. Strategies that can be utilized to overcome the constraints of the DOMA will also be included.

Has the future of marriage arrived? A contemporary examination of gender, marriage, and psychological well-being.

A long tradition of research and theory on gender, marriage, and mental health suggests that marital status is more important to men's psychological well-being than women's while marital quality is more important to women's well-being than men's. These beliefs rest largely on a theoretical and empirical foundation established in the 1970s, but, despite changes in gender and family roles, they have rarely been questioned. The present analysis of three waves of a nationally representative survey indicates that, with few exceptions, the effects of marital status, marital transitions, and marital quality on psychological well-being are similar for men and women. Further, for men and women, occupying an unsatisfying marriage undermines psychological well-being to a similar extent--and, in some cases, to a greater extent--than exiting marriage or being continually unmarried.

Selected determinants of fertility in Vietnam: age at marriage, marriage to first birth interval and age at first birth.

Data from the 4172 women aged 15-49 interviewed in the 1988 Vietnamese Demographic and Health Survey were used to examine age at marriage, marriage to first birth intervals and age at first birth. Differences between urban and rural areas, northern and southern provinces and by education of the women were analysed. The majority of the women had their first birth before age 20, but women with secondary education had a significantly higher age at first birth than those with little or no education, and women from the north had a significantly higher age at first birth than women from the south. Rural women and those with little or no education married at significantly younger ages than urban women and those with secondary education; these education effects were confirmed in a rural subsample of women. Women from rural areas and from the north had significantly shorter marriage to first birth intervals than urban women and those from the south, but there were no significant effects related to education.

Gender, age and the marriage market: evidence on marriage in late adulthood in Russia.

"In this paper I explore one specific type of informal support, marital unions, and the ways in which patterns suggest differential access to this support mechanism based on age and sex. Through an examination of marriage patterns in the Russian Federation I show that women may be disadvantaged by low levels of access to marital unions past the age of 50 due to high differential mortality and age differentials at marriage. For both sexes, the probability of marital entrance is negatively related to age, but the negative influence of age follows different paths for men and women. In spite of high sex differentials in mortality, findings indicate that men, over 50 and outside of marital unions, are far more likely to marry than their female counterparts regardless of residence or age."

Physicians' wives evaluate their marriages, their husbands, and life in medicine: results of the AMA-Alliance Medical Marriage Survey.

This largest-ever investigation of the attitudes, lifestyles, and marital adjustment of physicians' wives disputes many stereotypes of medical marriage. Responses of 603 members of the American Medical Association Alliance to standardized and subjective measures indicated high levels of marital adjustment and overall satisfaction with work/life balance. Wives' marital adjustment was affected by age of oldest child, husbands' work hours, and wives' work outside the home. It is proposed that, more than hours worked, it is how a couple treats each other when they are not working that most powerfully determines the quality of a contemporary medical marriage. Wives' advice on marital and work/life issues is summarized.

[The effect of marriage on mental health. Dr. Djordje Natosević: psychological aspects of marriage].

Dr. Dorde Natosević (1821-1887), our famous physician, health educator and reformer of the educational system, published an article "Marriage in regard to psyche" in the 111, book of the Chronical of Matica Srpska in 1866. In his article he consider the influence of both married and unmarried life on mental health of men and women.

[Free love, wild marriage--on the gradual dissolution of marriage by love"].

Within the different cultural epochs there exist different concepts of what is to be meant by 'love', 'marriage', 'human communication'. Maybe we are presently in the process of a paradigmatic change. However certain basic laws within human relations will always persist, such as: erotics, attraction, strive to social security, necessity to combine positive and negative within longer lasting human relations etc. Above all there is a great individual variability. There exist no one-way solutions. The more it is important that not only psychotherapists should be aware of the problems and include them in their daily work. But it counts for every doctor, who intends to operate humanistic medicine (not only a mechanistic one). This means a holistic approach towards a "partner"-patient.
