According to Pineo (1961, p. 3) there has been interest in the concept of ‘marital disenchantment’ since 1927, however most research conducted showed ‘marital disenchantment’ in the early stages in marriage. Additionally, Pineo found that there had been no study or work done to conclude that ‘marital disenchantment’ develops “after the marriage has endured for several years” (Pineo 1961, p. 3).

Further Peterson concludes that Pineo proved that “spouses love for one another had diminished along with their enjoyment of being married” (Peterson 2004, p. 483). Additionally, Pineo’s study revealed that whilst love and enjoyment decreased the “threat of divorced increased” (Peterson 2004, p. 483).
