Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with seven couples of professional dancers, who have been married for more than five years and with stable marriage status. Based on Family Stress Theory, this study examined stressful events the couples encountered in their marriage and their coping strategies, and was analyzed through thematic analysis. The results of the study are as follows:I. Challenges of Marriage Maintenance of Professional Dancers1. Professional dancers' inconsistent working hours make it difficult for couples to get along. 2. Professional dancers' unstable income puts the family's finances in jeopardy 3. Professional dancers' temptations to extramarital affairs challenge their marital fidelity and trust. II. Common Challenges in Marriage 1. Different communication styles increase misunderstandings and conflicts between couples. 2. Emotions, expenses, and time constraints regarding child-rearing add to couples' marital stress. 3. Conflicts between mothers and daughters-in-law affect couples' relationship. III. Coping Strategies of Professional Dancers in their Marriage Maintenance Couples of professional dancers cope with various marital challenges through positive and optimistic perceptions and rich family resources. 1. Prioritizing family first turns inconsistent working hours into a beneficial resource. 2. Having the flexibility to earn money apart from dance performances stabilizes the family’s finances. 3. Announcing marital status enables the couples to resist the temptation of extramarital affairs.4. Communicating positively strengthens the interaction among couplesIt is expected that the results of this study may help professional dancers or performers of similar nature to have a better understanding of marital challenges and coping strategies, and thus increase the stability of their marriage maintenance.
