The present study examined the influence of marital satisfaction on successful aging among married elderly couples. In particular, the research focused on the actor and partner effects under different economic context. Data from the first (2006) to third (2010) waves of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging (KLoSA) was used. Research sample (N=1,052) were couples aged 65 years and older at the first wave, and married throughout the three waves. APIM (Actor-Partner Interdependence Model) based on multilevel analysis was performed with HLM 7.0. Results indicated that successful aging was explained by marriage context about 50% and individual context about 50%. The actor effect of marital satisfaction was significant only for the upper and middle classes while the partner effect of marital satisfaction was not significant for all economic classes.
