disillusionment in marriage  

Definición

  • Disillusionment is the decline in positive affect about and perceptions of the spouse and the marriage and a corresponding increase in negative affect about and perceptions of the partner and the marriage (e.g., feeling increasingly disappointed, bitter, and defeated; less close to the partner; and less fulfilled in the marriage). This entry outlines the theory on disillusionment in marriage, provides evidence of the prognostic value of disillusionment early in marriage for later marital instability, and traces its roots to spouses' idealization of one another and their relationship during courtship.
