Sažetak
A theoretical mediation model of the influence of marital
partners' income on marriage quality was constructed. The model
consists of 3 independent and 5 dependent variables. Seven variables
are measurement variables and one variable represents
latent structure. The model was verified for husbands and for
wives separately, among 340 dual full-time employed couples.
The sample is representative of Zagreb and Zagreb metropolitan
area on the variable husband's education. Structural Equation
Modelling (SEM) was used to verify the model. After several
modifications of the model, the χ2 and fitting indices revealed a
very good match between the data and the model. According to
the obtained results, marital partners' income influences marriage
quality as experienced by the husband and wife.A theoretical mediation model of the influence of marital
