Full description

Some couples will experience symptoms of post-traumatic stress reaction (PTS), and there are also large differences.

Guidance and education for male spouses can reduce cognitive differences between couples and generate understanding and empathy, which is conducive to promoting the stability of family relations and intimate relationships.
