Divorced individuals offer explanations for why their relationship ended, yet little is known about the development of these problems during the relationship. Problems that lead to divorce may exist at the beginning of the marriage (enduring dynamics model) or may develop over time (emergent distress model). We asked 40 divorced individuals about the reasons for their divorce and compared the development of problems that did and did not contribute to their divorce over the first few years of their marriage. Results support an emergent distress model for wives; they saw problems that lead to divorce increasing over time, whereas results for husbands indicated that they were less attuned to problems overall, suggesting that wives are the bellwether for relationship problems.
离异人士会对他们的关系为何结束给出解释，但对于这些问题在关系存续期间是如何发展的，我们却知之甚少。导致离婚的问题可能在婚姻开始时就已存在（持久动态模型），也可能随着时间的推移而发展（新出现的困扰模型）。我们询问了40位离异人士离婚的原因，并比较了在他们婚姻的头几年里，那些导致或未导致离婚的问题的发展情况。结果支持了妻子的新出现的困扰模型；她们认为导致离婚的问题随时间增加，而丈夫的结果表明他们总体上对问题不太敏感，这表明妻子是关系问题的风向标。
