Over the past 50 years, a number of researchers have proposed that marital satisfaction peaks around the time of the wedding and tends to decline from that point on (e.g., Burgess & Wallin, 1953; Vailliant & Vailliant, 1993). Nonetheless, some recent evidence suggests that when children leave home couples experience an increase in their marital satisfaction (Gorchoff, John, & Helson, 2008). The transition to parenthood is a particularly important milestone event in a marriage that provides excitement and joy, but is also often related to distress in the individual parents. Thus, the period following this transition may be a critical time for determining the health and longevity of the marital relationship.
