Engths that are both methodological and conceptual in nature. First, the longitudinal, multi-method design allowed us to examine relative change in couples’ behaviors over time. Second, we extracted each of our measures from different sources (self-report, other-report, observer report) across a considerable amount of time, which minimized the potential for shared-method variance problems. Third, because we drew participants from a fairly large, long-term study of families, we were able to examine two generations of romantic couples assessed over a decade apart and replicate support for our hypotheses within the same study. This point is especially compelling given the importance of empirical replication in all disciplines of science (e.g., Schmidt, 2009). Fourth, work on resilience has primarily focused on individual characteristics (e.g., cognitive skill) as possible sources of resilience to adversity. The present study, however, provides empirical evidence for the importance of positive couple-based skills that appear independent of individual differences in conscientiousness as an additional element of resilience to stress. We anticipate future work of this kind will shed more light on effective problem solving as a resource for couples and hope that other couple-based resources that promote resilience and adaptation to stress over time will be incorporated into our current understanding of what makes couples and families thrive. We may never be able to completely control our economic situations, but making small, positive changes in our dayto-day interactions with our partners–changes that family practitioners and educators devote their efforts to encourage–might make all the difference in promoting healthy and happy romantic relationships, even amidst economic pressures.Author Manuscript Author Manuscript Author Manuscript Author ManuscriptSupplementary MaterialRefer to Web version on PubMed Central for supplementary material.J Marriage Fam.
