A considerable body of research supports the general statement that "couples who before the birth of their first child are characterized by positive mutuality, parmer autonomy, and the ability to confront problems and regulate negative affect are responsive to the needs of their infants, promote their autonomy and have more secure and autonomous children, as seen throughout the 6rst 4 years of life" . The implications for infant mental health are profound, but more needs to be known about what specific prebirth marital qualities interact with and anticipate postbirth marital and child functioning. This is a study of the association between the nature of the couple's prebirth interaction and their marital adaptation during the first 2 years of the child's life. Linking pn-and postbirth marital functioning, the frequency of negative affect and offtask scores. as well as the inability to resolve their issues in the prebirth marital interacaon, anticipated a declining or consistently low postbirth marital adaptation.
