Bowden SP - 215 EP - 223 VL - 25 IS - 3 N2 - Research related to the process of communication among couples is central to the work of couple and family therapists. This study examines the relationship between couple's conflict resolution styles, weekly church attendance, and marital satisfaction. Specifically, we surveyed 191 Latino couples using Gottman's typology of conflict resolution styles (e.g., validator, avoidant, and volatile) to identify which style predicted marital satisfaction for both partners. Using the actor-partner interdependence model, we find a multifaceted picture of how partner's conflict resolution style influences theirs and their partner's marital satisfaction.
