It has recently been proposed that community involvement is related to marital quality in a positive, linear fashion. This paper proposes that community involvement has a curvilinear influence on marital quality, with quality being the highest at an intermediate level of involvement, and the lowest at the extremes of low and high involvement. It is shown that empirical data on specific indicators of community involvement primarily support the curvilinear relationship. It is further proposed that it is useful to view the curvilinear relationship between community involvement and marital quality as a specific instance of more general theoretical ideas, such as the Aristotelian Golden Mean and propositions in exchange and field theory
