The cultural context in Tatarstan is currently characterized by uncertainty and change. Since perestroika, glasnost, and ultimately the fall of communism, the cultures of the former Soviet Republic have been struggling to regain stability and balance. This has put incredible pressure on families and, especially, the marital relationship. This study explores the relationship among communication strategies designed to maintain marriages and marital quality indicators in Tatar, Russian, and mixed Russian-Tatar couples. Data collected from 321 married couples indicated that the behavior of both self and spouse are related to perceptions of satisfaction and commitment.
