Description

Couple relationships endure notable importance in an individual's life since strong emotions are associated with involvement in such a relationship. A dyadic connection differs from a relationship with friends and acquaintances, as couples share a very close and delicate union. Though the positive association between life satisfaction and marriage is well-established in the available literature, however, other researches also indicated difference in reporting among the couples in terms of satisfaction in marriage, which is consider as prominent indicator of happiness in marriage. The study intended to examine the experience of couple relationship in males and females. For this purpose, fifty couples aged 25 to 45 years married for more than two years were taken in the study. The study was a non-experimental, cross-sectional study. The sample was selected using a random sampling technique. A significant difference was observed in males and females in their experience of marital relationships in terms of marital satisfaction, dyadic adjustment, and marital conflict. The study has clinical implications in understanding couple dynamics and factors that can affect a marital relationship.
