“…Dyadic coping involves partners communicating about their concerns and engaging in joint coping efforts through positive, supportive communication (Bodenmann, 1995(Bodenmann, , 2005. The process of dyadic coping involves either both partners sharing appraisals of stress and managing this stress together or one partner assisting the other in coping with stress (Bodenmann & Randall, 2020). Dyadic coping is consistently associated with relationship satisfaction (Falconier et al, 2015;Hilpert et al, 2016;Rusu et al, 2020), and is negatively associated with divorce (Bodenmann & Cina, 2006) and destructive interaction amidst stress (Hilpert et al, 2015(Hilpert et al, , 2018, demonstrating its benefits for relationship well-being.…”

“…Importantly, an individual's perceptions of their partner's behavior are often more salient than their partner's reported behaviors (see Joel et al, 2020;Ogolsky & Bowers, 2013). Because perceptions of a partner's relationship maintenance behaviors (vs. the self-reported behaviors themselves) are most influential in relationship outcomes (Falconier et al, 2015;Ogolsky & Bowers, 2013) and dyadic coping is a form of relationship maintenance (Bodenmann & Randall, 2020), we evaluated perceptions of a partner's dyadic coping efforts. In line with research and theory we outlined, we expected there to be direct effects between each stressor and both dyadic coping (negatively associated) and relationship instability (positively associated).…”

How romantic partners respond to stress has important implications for the well-being of their relationship. In this study, we examined the effects of three types of stress on relationship instability and evaluated individuals’ perceptions of their partner’s dyadic coping as a mediator in a sample of 117 different-gender couples ( N = 234) across 6 months of the COVID-19 pandemic. We found that perceived stress, but not economic pressure or pandemic concerns, was associated with increases in relationship instability for both men and women. For women but not men, perceived stress was negatively associated with dyadic coping, and dyadic coping was related to lower relationship instability. Although direct effects were present for most of the variables of interest, dyadic coping did not mediate the associations between stress and relationship instability for either partner. These findings underscore the direct paths between stress, adaptive responses, and relationship instability, building upon past theorizing and research on stress and dyadic coping.

“…The actions of married couples are concluded by Bodenmann & Randall (2020) that couples who get a source of stress from outside will get negative dyadic coping behavior from their spouses, resulting in a low level of husband and wife relationships. Conversely, if the source of stress from the husband and wife relationship is positive dyadic coping, it affects increasing the harmonious relationship.…”

“…Husbands overcome more problems or pressures by reducing negative emotions that arise (emotion-focused coping), namely calming themselves, diverting attention, and sharing feelings. Meanwhile, wives cope more to relieve their stress (problem-focused coping), namely seeking information, finding solutions, or taking action (Bodenmann & Randall, 2020). Thus the systematic transactional model-STM Dengan demikian the systematic transactional model-STM (Bodenmann et al, 2017a) is a model that explains married couples coping with stress jointly carried out by the couple.…”

A harmonious marriage is associated with spousal satisfaction. However, in Indonesia, the divorce rate increases every year. Maintaining a harmonious family takes effort from the spouses and is discussed using stimulus, value and role theories, as internal factors. The external factor is dyadic coping, which is the ability of couples to cope with pressure together and is discussed using the systematic transactional model-STM. The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of dyadic coping on the achievement of harmonious relationships in husbands and wives. Method: non-experimental quantitative with cross sectional technique. Sample characteristics are heterosexual couples who have been married for at least 1 year, aged over 20 years, as many as 150 couples or 300 participants. Relationship satisfaction measurement tool, The Perceived Relationship Quality Components Inventory (PRQC), Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient = 0.978, while Dyadic Coping is measured by Dyadic Coping Inventory (DCI), Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient = 0.911. Data processing using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), LISREL 8.80 programme, the measurement model shows all items are valid and the structural model shows a fit and significant model. The results showed the similarity of husbands and wives handling pressure, using positive dyadic coping. The difference between husbands and wives on the perception of harmonious relationship satisfaction is the aspect of love and intimacy. With these findings, it is expected to be used by counsellors, family psychologists and others to guide couples to be harmonious

“…Gurman's (1978) distinction between mediating versus ultimate treatment goals also provides a useful heuristic for viewing shorter‐ versus longer‐term approaches. For example, when situational stressors compromise partners' functioning and couple well‐being, initial goals may involve resolving those stressors to achieve a direct (and potentially sufficient) effect on reducing couple distress (Bodenmann & Randall, 2020). However, if in the course of that work the therapist determined that traumatic individual developmental experiences mediated the impact of current stressors on individual and relational functioning, then stress‐reduction might shift to being an intermediate goal and the “ultimate” goal might be reconceptualized as emotional or cognitive reprocessing of traumatic experiences to reduce or resolve their contribution to recurrent patterns of vulnerability or exaggerated reactivity.…”

This paper provides a critical analysis and synthesis of the current status and emerging developments in contemporary couple therapy. Its narrative centers on the evolution of couple therapy into a prominent intervention modality and coherent body of practice. The review begins with the consideration of the field's strong empirical underpinnings derived from research on couple therapy and basic relational science. Couple therapy comprises the widely accepted method for reducing relationship distress and enhancing relationship quality. Moreover, both as a stand‐alone intervention and in conjunction with other treatment formats, couple‐based interventions have garnered considerable empirical support for their effectiveness in addressing a broad spectrum of specific relational dysfunctions as well as individual emotional and physical health problems. We highlight the convergence of methods through common factors, shared strategies, and remarkably similar arrangements across approaches. Our review also points to key differences among approaches, the importance of recognizing respective strengths and limitations linked to these differences, and building on differences across models when selecting and tailoring interventions for a given couple. The discussion concludes with a consideration of recent trends in the field including the impact of telehealth and related digital technologies, the expansion of specific treatments for specific problems and diverse populations, the interface of couple therapy with relationship education, and enduring challenges as well as new opportunities addressing broader systemic and global dynamics.
