Human communication researchers have suggested that good communication between husbands and wives is a key to a healthy marriage. Although interpersonal communication itself cannot "fix" all problems in one's marriage, the importance of good communication in a marital-relationship cannot be overstated. Regardless of its importance, the communication behavior between husbands and wives as a research topic has been paid little attention by human communication scholars in Korea. Because of the "intimacy" Korean couples who have been influenced with the long tradition of Confucius culture tend to overlook the communicative problems in a marital-relationship. Yet, it is "the belief" of the intimacy that creates much of the communicative problems in a marriage. This study is designed to explore the characteristics and transitional process of the communication behavior between Korean husbands and wives among generations. Married couples in their 20's, 30's, 40's, and 50's were surveyed with five levels of interpersonal communication process-open attitudes, problem-solving, expression, listening, and feedback. The study result reveals each generation's characteristics and transitional process of marital communication behavior from younger couples to older couples as their intimacy and "shared" lived-experience get accumulated.
