Students taking the Master of Divinity course at Andrews University and the spouses of those who were married were surveyed about the sources of stress in their lives, their methods of coping with problems, and information on their marriages as measured by the Locke-Wallace Marital Adjustment Test. Only 15 percent of the students and 12 percent of the spouses rated their marriages with some degree of unhappiness; 19 percent of each group said they were "perfectly happy." Happiness in marriage was correlated negatively with the number of stressful events the couple had recently experienced. Couples used "escape-avoidance" as a method of coping with problems, and with the amount of family indebtedness from student loans. Happiness was positively correlated with the stress-coping methods of "problem-solving" and "positive reappraisal."
