Resumo(s)
This paper evaluates cohesion and adaptability over the course of marital relationships.
The couple version of the FACES-III scale by D. H. Olson, J. Portner,
and Y. Lavee (1985) was used, adapted and validated for the Portuguese population
by Abreu-Afonso and Leal (2016). The sample consisted of 185 couples
at different stages of the marital cycle. The results revealed gender similarities
in the perception of cohesion and adaptability. However, women expressed a
greater desire for adaptability. At the formation stage of the couple, women
showed higher ideal cohesion compared with women in other stages of the life
cycle, whereas women in old age exhibited the opposite pattern. Across the
marital cycle, when comparing cohabitation with marriage, men in cohabiting
relationships demonstrated higher cohesion and adaptability, and women also
displayed higher cohesion.
