Marital Partners' Income as a Determinant of Marriage Quality

Summary/Abstract: A theoretical mediation model of the influence of marital partners' income on marriage quality was constructed. The model consists of 3 independent and 5 dependent variables. Seven variables are measurement variables and one variable represents latent structure. The model was verified for husbands and for wives separately, among 340 dual full-time employed couples. The sample is representative of Zagreb and Zagreb metropolitan area on the variable husband's education. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was used to verify the model. After several modifications of the model, the ÷2 and fitting indices revealed a very good match between the data and the model. According to the obtained results, marital partners' income influences marriage quality as experienced by the husband and wife.
