- W2183993949 abstract "Marital adjustment is the state in which there is an overall feeling in husband and wife of happiness and satisfaction with their marriage and with each other. A happy and well adjusted marital life is the firm basis upon which a stable family is built. In view of the significance of the above, the present study was an attempt to understand marital adjustment and emotional maturity among dual-career couples. The participants were 100 dual- employed couples (N=200) selected from Trichur and Ernakulam districts, Kerala. The results revealed significant difference between the couples. The wives had better marital adjustment and independence than their husbands. Age, type of marriage and number of children of the couples have significant impact on their marital adjustment and emotional maturity. © 2013 Guru Journal of Behavioral and Social Sciences Marital adjustment is the state in which there is an overall feeling in husband and wife of happiness and satisfaction with their marriage and with each other. Ernest and Leonard (1939) defined marital adjustment as “the integration of the couple in a union in which the two personalities are not merely merged, or submerged, but interact to complement each other for mutual satisfaction and the achievement of common objectives”. Marital adjustment is a process which is created during couples' life because it is necessary for taste conformity, person's traits recognition, behavioural rules creation and relational models formation. Thus, marital adjustment is an evolutional process between a couple (Lasswell & Lasswell, 1982). The study of past concepts in marital adjustment showed that it is permanently necessary for those processes of acquiring a balanced and functional marital relationship (Bradbury, Fincham & Beach, 2000). Marital adjustment is a process where its consequences are determined with couples' problematic conflicts, interpersonal tension and anxiety, couples' satisfaction, unity, cohesion and intellectual collaboration about marital important problems (Gong, 2007). Therefore, adjustment is a multidimensional concept which considers a person's relationship with his/her spouse and has objective characteristics (Broman, 2005). Marital adjustment or quality can be either an individual or a dyadic property. It refers to a state of accommodation which is achieved in different areas where conflict may exist. According to Lewis and Spanier (1979), three major factors predict marital qualities are social and personal resources, satisfaction with lifestyle, and rewards from spousal interaction. In general, the more social and personal resources a husband and wife have, the better adjusted their marriage will be. Material and non- material properties of the spouse enhance their marital adjustment. Examples include emotional and physical health, socioeconomic resources such as education and social class; personal resources such as emotional maturity, interpersonal skills and positive self concepts, and the knowledge they had of each other before getting married. It is also found that good relationships and support from parents, friends and significant others contribute to a welladjusted marriage. Findings are that spouses with similar racial, religious, or socioeconomic background are better adjusted to their marriages. The second factor predicting marital adjustment is satisfaction with lifestyle. Material resources such as family income positively affect both spouses. The third factor in predicting marital adjustment is the reward obtained" @default.
