Theory in Progress: Commitment Under Construction: A Dyadic and Communicative Model of Marital Commitment

Applying a dialectic perspective, we reconceptualize marital commitment from an individual variable to a dyadic variable. We propose a path model that predicts seven relationships among four key variables, that is, commitment, projected longevity of the relationship, communication maintenance behaviors, and marital quality. Basing the hypotheses on past research as well as original ideas, we view marital commitment as a phenomenon that marital dyads coconstruct and maintain through communication.
