Abstract
This study examines the effect on marital quality of spouses' apprecia tion of partner's coping ability with possible stressful life events. Results show that while higher appreciation of partner's coping abilit y contributes to marital quality in wives, only the extent of being th reatened by stressful life events and sense of being needed by partner for support when confronting with stressful life events contribute to marital quality in husbands.
