Questions relating to marriage and partnership were posed for each of the participants' marriages. If the participant was living with a partner at the time of the interview, this was also recorded as long-term relationship. Participants were asked when they got married, how and where they met their partner, and whether the marriage was still intact. If not, participants were asked whether the marriage had been ended by death, divorce or separation. Further aspects included the regulation of financial matters within the marriage and the partner's need for nursing care.
