The concept of "healthy marriage" has been of interest to scholars for quite some time, particularly with regards to how it can be achieved. With respect to marital relationships, an unexplored and complex group worthy of inquiry is the Canadian military population, as there are over 60,000 Canadian Forces (CF) regular members and 66% of them are married (Villeneuve, personal communication, 2006). As marriage and the military are two very demanding institutions and many couples remain committed to both, there is reason to believe that somewhere within these 41,000 marriages are key insights into marital success. Indeed much can be learned from individuals who can maintain healthy marital unions under such circumstances, therefore this study addresses the research question of: What makes strong Canadian military marriages strong?

520 $a The concept of "healthy marriage" has been of interest to scholars for quite some time, particularly with regards to how it can be achieved. With respect to marital relationships, an unexplored and complex group worthy of inquiry is the Canadian military population, as there are over 60,000 Canadian Forces (CF) regular members and 66% of them are married (Villeneuve, personal communication, 2006). As marriage and the military are two very demanding institutions and many couples remain committed to both, there is reason to believe that somewhere within these 41,000 marriages are key insights into marital success. Indeed much can be learned from individuals who can maintain healthy marital unions under such circumstances, therefore this study addresses the research question of: What makes strong Canadian military marriages strong?
520 $a Through purposive sampling, 17 in-depth individual interviews were conducted with military members and their spouses who met specific criteria. The grounded theory method as developed by Barney Glaser and Anselm Strauss (1967) was used in this study. Themes of duality that emerged include: the notion of spouses being separate and together, the ever-changing and yet stable state of healthy marriage, the divided loyalties between family and country that is sometimes experienced by soldiers, and, issues of gender, roles and power as they pertain to strong marriages in this group. The findings led to the development of a model of resilient Canadian military marriages, which suggests that marital strength relies on the combined prominence of intimacy, commitment and respect. This author proposes that the concepts outlined in the model are critical to maintaining marital strength within Canadian military marriages.
