“…Andersen, 2005). Even financial stress from one's family of origin may lead to marital dissatisfaction (Hubler, Burr, Gardner, Larzelere, & Busby, 2016). In addition to the resources themselves, management of those resources can act as a sort of resource (or lack thereof).…”

This study explored how money and sex simultaneously predicted marital instability, and what financial therapists might focus on with clients to address problems in these areas. Specifically, this paper concurrently examined the relationship of marital instability to financial and family stressors (financial stressors, work-family conflict, and parenting stressors); financial and sexual resources (couple income and couple sexual frequency); and financial and sexual perceptions (financial dissatisfaction and sexual dissatisfaction). Couple financial communication and couple relational communication were explored as intervention points for financial therapists. Data came from Wave 2 of the Flourishing Families data set (N = 301).Data were organized using the ABC-X model of family stress (Hill, 1949) and integrated with Gottman's research on the importance of relational communication (Navarra, Gottman, & Gottman, 2016

“…When one partner experiences financial stress, so does the other partner, due either to crossover effects and/or the fact that both partners are experiencing the same financial stressor (Falconier & Epstein, ; Helms et al, ; Kinnunen & Feldt, ; Ponnet, Wouters, Goedemé, & Mortelmans, ). Considering that both partners tend to be concerned about financial matters, it is unsurprising that financial stress has been linked to negative relationship functioning such as increased interpartner hostility and aggression (e.g., Conger, Ge, & Lorenz, ; Falconier & Epstein, ; Neppl et al, ; Olson Roper, George, Nelson, Yorgason, & Poulsen, ), demand/withdraw communication pattern (e.g., Falconier & Epstein, ; Wilmarth, Nielsen, & Futris, ), conflict (e.g., Conger et al, ; Ponnet et al, ), and relationship dissatisfaction and instability (e.g., Barton, Futris, & Nielsen, ; Helms et al, ; Hubler, Burr, Gardner, Larzeiere, & Busby, ; Kostouli, Xanthopoulou, & Athanasiades, ). It has also been found that couples' arguments about money problems are more intense and tend to last longer than arguments about other issues (Papp, Cummings, & Goeke‐Morey, ).…”

Initial validation of the dyadic coping inventory for financial stress

2019

Financial stress can have a detrimental impact on a couple's relationship but there is no validated instrument to assess the way couples cope with financial stress. This study sought to validate the Dyadic Coping Inventory for Financial Strain (DCIFS), an adaptation of the Dyadic Coping Inventory to financial stressors, with self-report data collected from 132 heterosexual couples seeking couple and/or family therapy services. Confirmatory Factor Analysis results supported a 23-item version consisting of the following subscales for both men and women: Stress (Chi-square test: Men: χ 2 (175) = 310.11, p = 0.00; Women: χ 2 (175) = 242.88, p = 0.00. Results also supported the hypothesized factorial structure for the aggregated subscales of DC by Oneself and by Partner as well as the discriminant, predictive, and convergent validity of the DCIFS. Findings associated with the Stress Communication subscales suggest that this DC dimension may behave differently depending on the type of stressor. Further studies should be conducted to replicate the DCIFS factorial structure with longitudinal data from couples not seeking couple or family therapy.

“…The structures and systems within which families function continuously grow in its diversity (Seccombe, ) and families are increasingly in need of sufficient and adequate support. Changes within the wider social, economic, and political systems, such as rapid shifts in the economic climate and changing leadership and policies, can create difficulties for families and have lasting effects on the next generation (Hubler, Burr, Gardner, Larzelere, & Busby, ). It is becoming progressively difficult for families to provide basic needs for its members, and according to Walsh (), parents often provide for their families at great expense to themselves.…”

The aim of this study was to develop a contextually based family resilience program. Also presented here is a literature review of family resilience interventions suggesting that these 3 processes are the basis for effective family functioning. A close collaboration with the community ensured an adequate understanding of the presenting family challenges and this article describes the process in developing a program based on these challenges. A 3‐round Delphi design was used for the study with international and local experts (n = 10) in the field of family and resilience studies and community stakeholders (n = 5). The program has three main aims: to increase family connectedness, family communication processes and social and economic resources. Based on the findings of this study, 4 modules will be presented to participants, “about family,” “talking together,” “close together,” and “working together.” A description is provided of the program content and decisions regarding logistical program concerns.
