This study employed dyadic data analyses to examine actor and partner effects of childhood sexual abuse experiences on current marital functioning with 132 married couples (N = 264). This study proposed a mediation model to identify mediators between the childhood sexual abuse experience and marital functioning during adulthood. Results showed significant actor effects of the childhood sexual abuse experiences in wives on their current marital functioning. Also, trauma symptoms in wives showed a mediator effect between childhood sexual abuse experiences and marital functioning in them. A partner effect was found on trauma symptoms in wives, which significantly predicted the level of marital functioning in their husbands. Implications for clinical practice and future research are discussed.
