Implications of research focused on the relationship biography of the spousal dyad living at home and experiencing dementia are significant as this has been reported as a new and underdeveloped area of research. Dementia has been viewed through the lenses of many perspectives. Each lens presents a valuable contribution to the advancement of dementia care and has moved us forward toward thinking of dementia in more holistic ways. What has not been considered is the marriage relationship's impact on dementia. After all, the relationship existed prior to the dementia.

520 $a Implications of research focused on the relationship biography of the spousal dyad living at home and experiencing dementia are significant as this has been reported as a new and underdeveloped area of research. Dementia has been viewed through the lenses of many perspectives. Each lens presents a valuable contribution to the advancement of dementia care and has moved us forward toward thinking of dementia in more holistic ways. What has not been considered is the marriage relationship's impact on dementia. After all, the relationship existed prior to the dementia.
520 $a The purpose of the research study was to gain a better understanding of six couples' commitment to their marriage relationship, and how that commitment influenced the experience of dementia. Uncovering how couples interpret and enact the impact of commitment to each other and to their relationship historically and contextually became the vehicle for understanding the impact of commitment in relation to a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. Social constructionism was the epistemological theory of knowledge embedded in the theoretical perspective symbolic interactionism that acted to inform the narrative analysis and provided a context for the study. Based on the principles of a naturalistic interpretive inquiry I used a 'dual research strategy' by blending qualitative interviews with quantitative measures. Narrative analysis was the method I adopted to analyze narrative themes and meaning in couples' recalling of their stories about their commitment over thirty years of marriage.
520 $a Certain patterns of caring were reflected throughout the couple's marriage biographies that helped sustain them in their ability to be there for each other now that one of them had Alzheimer's disease. These patterns of caring were, namely, marriage means (1) partnership for life, (2) reciprocity, (3) resilience, and (4) forgiveness. The couples had an enduring commitment to their relationship in spite of the diagnosis. The "us" identity of the couple changed but remained intact. Couples considered the challenge of dementia to be a "collaborative venture"---a journey into the unknown.
