Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate mediating effects of problem drinking between relationship acculturation stress and marital satisfaction among international married Korean men. Methods: Subjects of this study were 170 international married men and collected data were analyzed using AMOS 19.0. Results: First, husband's acculturation stress showed a significant relationship with problem drinking. Second, problem drinking worked as a partial mediator between relationship acculturation stress and marital satisfaction. Conclusion: Problem drinking in multi-cultural couples was a significant variable for marital relationship. We suggest development of an integrated alcohol-cultural sensitivity program in multi-cultural couple intervention. The implications and limitations of these findings were discussed, and directions for future studies were also proposed.
