Thirty military spouses’ ages 22-65 yeas old with at least 1 child, married for at least 1 year and whose husband were currently deployed or has been deployed at the time of the study participated. Three instruments were utilized namely: Comprehensive Marital Satisfaction Scale by Blum and Mehrabian (1999), Social Readjustment Rating Scale (SRRS) by Home and Rahe (1967), and Family Decision Making Scale by Erispe and Mestidio (2007). Results showed that military spouses have high marital satisfaction, high level of stress, and both spouses decide on family decision making. There is a low negative correlation between marital satisfaction and level of stress at -.067 (a=0.05 level of significance) which means that stress does not correspondingly affect the level of marital satisfaction among military spouses.Military spousesMarital satisfactionStressMarital decision makingFamily decision makingLG 993.5 2010 P7 C35Thesismilitarymarital statusmarriagedecision-makingfamily structurestressSDG 3 - Good health and well-beingSDG 5 - Gender equalitySDG 16 - Peace, justice and strong institutions
