Sampling: A sample of eight couples was recruited through advertising and snowballing. Data collection: Each spouse was interviewed separately through a semi-structured depth interview followed by a telephone interview. Data analysis: Generic pathways that inter-linked spouses{\textquoteright} well-being were delineated through cross-case analysis. Findings: Pathways were found to be grounded in three areas: a) supportive behaviour of the wives, b) the nature of inter-spouse communication, and c) the husband{\textquoteright}s behaviour with the couple{\textquoteright}s children. These pathways were accentuated by the couples{\textquoteright} values and beliefs related to Hinduism and middle-class, and doctors{\textquoteright} personality characteristics.",
