This is an area that will be of increasing, tho limited, concern (IMHO).

There are not likely to be a sufficient number of cases where a crew CAN
be composed of a Husband and Wife to be easially studied.

MY thought would be that the better a crew knows one another, the better
the co-ordination between them. (Assuming no great "personality
conflict". Such conflicts, or lack thereof, would seem to me to be more
importaint than the marital status of the crewmembers).

I am not aware of any studies on this subject.

I would be interested in the details of the incident(s) mentioned by
someone in another response in this thread.
