Aim: Marriage is a way of life, in reality. It's not always
sunshine and flowers, but for it to work, both sides need to be prepared to
adapt. Most families are having a very hard time adjusting to the increasing
number of families with two workers, especially when it comes to the marriage
relationship. The present study aimed to examine the gender differences and
correlation in marital adjustment and its dimensions among single-working
couples and dual-working couples between 25 to 45 years of age range. It is a
comparative study of marital adjustment of couples from urban and rural areas.
Methodology: A total of 400 couples from Lucknow city were
studied including 200 single-working couples and 200 Dual-working Couples. The
standardised tool of the Marital Adjustment Questionnaire developed by Kanchana
Rohatgi and Pramod Kumar was used in the study. The data was statistically
analysed by the SPSS 20 version that used the F test and Correlation Matrix.
Results: The findings of the study revealed that there is a
significant gender difference in emotional, social and sexual dimensions of
marital adjustment among single and dual-working couples. It also revealed that
there is a significant correlation between emotional adjustment and social
adjustment, sexual adjustment and emotional adjustment. It also revealed an
interesting finding that dual-working couples have better marital adjustment
than single-working couples and there is no such difference in marital
adjustment of couples from rural and urban areas.
Conclusion: Better marital adjustment takes place with
better emotional, social and sexual adjustment in married life. However, there
is a negligible role of ethnicity in marital adjustment.
