At 1 year postpartum, 22 of 38 couples demonstrated the same level of marital competence as they had prenatally, 14 couples demonstrated deterioration in their marital relationship, and 2 couples were improved. At each of four levels of marital competence, there was a trend for the couples to demonstrate the same relationship response to parenthood. Highly competent relationships remained at high levels of competence. Competent but pained relationships were most vulnerable to regressive change in structure. Dominant-submissive, complementary relationships tended to remain stable at that level. Dominant-submissive, conflicted or severely conflicted relationships were most unpredictable and stability, regression, and improvement were seen. These findings are explored for possible correlations and are discussed from the perspective of several current models of family development.
产后1年时，38对夫妻中有22对表现出与产前相同水平的婚姻能力，14对夫妻的婚姻关系出现恶化，2对夫妻的关系得到改善。在婚姻能力的四个水平上，夫妻对为人父母表现出相同关系反应的趋势。婚姻能力强的关系保持在较高水平。有能力但痛苦的关系在结构上最容易出现退行性变化。主导-顺从、互补关系往往在该水平保持稳定。主导-顺从、冲突或严重冲突的关系最不可预测，会出现稳定、退行和改善的情况。对这些发现进行了相关性探讨，并从当前几种家庭发展模型的角度进行了讨论。
