Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the meaning and functions of compromise in marital relationships, focusing on the process of making sense of conflict events and conflict management. Recently married women (N=21) were interviewed about their experiences with marital conflict since they were married. Narratives were analyzed by classifying the causes of conflict events and participants' conflict management strategies. Compromise was compared with other management strategies and examined for its meaning in daily life. Newlywed women reported positive meanings of compromise. In addition, by compromising they reinterpreted their relationships and the conflict events, and changed their conflict management strategies. These findings showed that it is important to consider the process of meaning-making of conflict management, in the study of marital relationships.
