| Abstract: | This study examines whether the meaning of marital conflict and marital solidarity are affected by the transition to retirement, whether the retirement transition alters stability and variability of, and cross-spouse influences on, marital quality, and whether retirement influences latent means of marital quality. Data from both waves of the National Survey of Families and Households (NSFH) addressed these questions (N = 407 couples for wives' retirement, and N = 550 couples for husbands' retirement). Results suggest that the structure of marital conflict is unaffected by husbands' and wives' transition to retirement, but that wives' continued employment may be associated with greater conflict longitudinally. Husbands' and wives' constructs of marital solidarity differ from one another; they were unaffected by wives' retirement but converged with husbands' retirement through changes for each partner in the importance of joint time together and potential for divorce. Effects of the retirement transition are far subtler than previously believed. |
