Abstract

Satisfactory marital relationship depends on multiple variables, including the interaction between consorts, parenting and child behaviors. The simultaneous study of those several measures is still scarce in literature. The objective is to verify the influence of parenting (positive and negative) and children’s behavioral repertoire (social skills and behavior problems) in the occurrence of positive, negative marital relationships and marital satisfaction.106 mothers and their children participated of this study and answered to report instruments about conjugality, parenting and child behavior, in a cross-sectional design of group comparison. Considering the statistically significant comparisons, it was found that parenting and children’s behaviors influenced the positive (positive practices, children’s social skills) and negative (negative practices, behavioral problems) marital relationships, regarding the spouse’s definition, communication and positive and negative behaviors. Positive marital behaviors were more frequent among respondents who reported being satisfied and negative marital behaviors were more frequently cited by people dissatisfied with the marital relationship. Highlights is the multi-determination of the marital relationship is influenced by parenting (positive and negative) and by children’s behaviors (social skills and behavior problems).
