Recognition of mood disorders and their treatment has improved considerably in recent years. In terms of public health and the development of depressive disorder, it is important to explore the risk factors involved in its development. One of the risk factors is marital discrepancy, however deeper understanding of specific factors in the process of relationship issues, development and maintenance of depressive disorder is still little known. Research into interpersonal factors affecting the onset and course of depression is therefore an important topic in research efforts.

Keywords: depression, marriage, partnership, communication.
