摘要
Married couples in which one of the spouses has terminal cancer reported their expression of love, marriage problems, and commitment to each other after the diagnosis of cancer and as they recall their relationship before the diagnosis of cancer. They were compared with a matched comparison group of healthy subjects. The cancer couples reported expressing more love to each other after the diagnosis of cancer and more love than the comparison group. There was no difference in marriage problems. The cancer couples were found to be less committed to each other after the diagnosis of cancer.
