A STUDY OF MARITAL ADJUSTMENT AND LIFE SATISFACTION AMONG MARRIED MEN AND MARRIED WOMEN

Abstract

Marriage is the process by which two people who love each other make their relationship public, official, and permanent. It is the joining of two people in a bond that putatively lasts until death, but in practice is increasingly cut short by divorce. Of course, over the course of a relationship that can last as many as seven or eight decades, a lot happens. Personalities change, bodies age, and romantic love waxes and wanes. And no marriage is free of conflict. What enables a couple to endure is how they handle that conflict. So how do you manage the problems that inevitably arise? And how can anyone keep the spark alive? The present study has been conducted to investigate the difference between male and female counterparts in marital adjustment and life satisfaction in the Indian context. In this chapter, the summary of the investigation has been stated, as well as this chapter also includes the implications of the study and suggestions for future research.
