Abstract
In an earlier article, Orden and Bradburn (1968) presented a model for the structure of marital happiness which consisted of two independent dimensions, one of marital satisfactions and the other of marital tensions. Further examination of their data and the introduction of a new variable into the analysis suggests that their measures of satisfactions and tensions were only two of a larger number of variables related to general feelings of positive and negative affect and, therefore, to marital happiness.

Characteristics suggest that the difference between an individual's scores on the satisfactions and tensions indexes, called the "Marriage Adjustment Balance Scale" (MABS), is a good over-all indicator of anindividual's happiness in marriage.
