The authors compared responses of 16 couples, in which one partner had a diagnosis of remitted bipolar illness, to a lengthy self-report questionnaire (KDS-15) designed to assess many aspects of marital adjustment with those of 16 matched nonpatient couples. The bipolar patient-well spouse couples had marital adjustments closely resembling those of the nonpatient couples; three of four global ratings of satisfaction failed to discriminate between the two groups. Perceptions of the courtship, first year of marriage, and the degree to which the marriage had met expectations were also similar for both groups.
作者将16对夫妻（其中一方被诊断为缓解期双相情感障碍）对一份旨在评估婚姻调适多个方面的冗长自评问卷（KDS - 15）的回答，与16对匹配的非患者夫妻的回答进行了比较。双相情感障碍患者 - 健康配偶夫妻的婚姻调适与非患者夫妻的非常相似；四项总体满意度评分中有三项未能区分这两组。两组对求爱期、结婚第一年以及婚姻达到期望程度的看法也相似。
