Qualitative data from a national sample of couples in great marriages were collected using a 31-page questionnaire. Of the 81 couples who responded, 40 fit the criteria for this study in that they discussed their level of agreement about financial issues in marriage. Their responses were coded to discover which financial topics are pervasive and whether or not couples agreed over these topics. Responses about conflict were also analyzed to determine the degree of agreement between spouses in different categories. Findings from this research suggest that even couples in great marriages disagree over different financial topics to varying degrees of agreement. Implications of the research are also discussed. 2010-05-01T07:00:00Z text application/pdf https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/etd/733 https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1729&context=etd Copyright for this work is held by the author.
