Abstract
This study aimed to determine the relationship between childhood maltreatment and marital risk (the chance of getting divorced) in adulthood. Results yielded a significant positive association between maternal and paternal emotional abuse and future marital risk. However, physical abuse was not associated with future marital risk.
