Within-couple correlations are presented above the diagonal; Between-spouse correlations are presented on the diagonal; Between-couple correlations are presented below the diagonal.

Two extreme scores were identified in proportion of time spent talking. Analyses were conducted with and without these scores which did not substantively change results, therefore all scores were included in final analyses. Without these scores, the between-spouse correlation for time spent talking was .25 and the between-spouse correlation for time spent arguing was .35^*.
