Abstract Details

2011, Master of Science, Miami University, Family and Child Studies.
The Ohio Department of Aging (2007) estimates that Ohio was home to 1,910 centenarians in 2000. Using secondary analysis of research conducted on behalf of the Ohio Board of Regents and the Ohio Long-Term Care Research Project, the present study examined the marital accounts and advice provided by centenarian women. The secondary analysis of these data involved a constant comparative method guided by the framework of symbolic interaction. Several themes emerged from the analysis of the participants’ interviews: Family Influences, We Always Worked Together, Something Old, Something New, Know Thyself, and For Better and For Worse. The present study is intended to shed light on the subject of marital satisfaction and start a path towards better understanding the advice these individuals can provide – which will allow all couples, young and old, to engage in healthy and fulfilling marital relationships.
