Abstract
Abstract The effects of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) on the marital relationship of husband and wife in both the follicular and luteal menstrual cycle phases for couples with women experiencing PMS as compared to a control group of similar, non-PMS couples were tested. The specific purpose of the study was to determine if couples differed in their level of marital distress from the woman's follicular to luteal cycle phases. Results indicated that the marital relationship of PMS couples was similar to non-PMS couples in the follicular cycle phase. However, the marital relationship of PMS couples deteriorated in the luteal cycle phase. Males' and females' reports of marital functioning were similar. Many female participants tested as experiencing a high rate of ongoing psychosocial distress.
