Abstrakt:	Much of the prior research on variables impacting spouses' perceptions of reunion stress have focused on individual variables and have not examined these variables within their shared context, despite the indication from some research and theory that this is a key component of understanding couple's responses to stressors. The present study examined the impact of various family stressors and resources, both independently and in conjunction with each other, on spouses' perceptions of reunion stress. To examine these variables, the present study utilized cross-sectional data from a representative sample of 1,558 military service members and their spouses participating in the Millennium Cohort Family Study. Results indicated that poorer mental health among spouses and service members was associated with increased reunion stress as reported by spouses across all models tested. In addition, stressful communication during deployment was significantly associated with spouses' perceptions of reunion stress. These results can help guide more targeted prevention and intervention efforts to decrease spouses' sense of reunion stress.
