Marriage is a ubiquitous social status that consistently is linked to health. Despite this, there has been very little theory development or related research on the extent to which couple members are jointly motivated to and actively engage in health enhancing behaviors. In this apper we propose an integrative model, based on interdependence theory and communcal coping perspectives, that explicitly considers dyadic processes as determinants of couple bahvior. ur integrated model applies these constructs to consider how couple dynamics might influence adoption of risk reducing in the best interest of the self (person centered), to doing even selfless actions that are best for the continuation of the relationship (relationship centered). In turn, this transformation can lead to enhanced motivation for the couple to cope communally or act cooperatively in adopting ehalth enhancing behaviour change. Implications for research related to couples and health behavior change are also highlighted.
