Improving Marital Satisfaction Among Couples in the Ottawa Seventh-day Adventist Church
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Problem A number of marital issues are challenging the members of the Ottawa Seventh- day Adventist Church. Of primary concern is the increase in “marital distress.” Given the importance of marital satisfaction on the health of a marriage, an examination of marital satisfaction levels among couples in the Ottawa Seventh-day Adventist Church is a priority. Based on this background, the primary focus of this study was to investigate marital satisfaction and its effect on marital health, with the intention of improving marital satisfaction levels among couples in the Ottawa Seventh-day Adventist Church. Method This study evaluated marital satisfaction factors that were important to couples in the Ottawa Seventh-day Adventist Church. I reached the population for this study through personal contact as well as by distributing flyers that described the nature of the project. Each of the twelve couples who consented to participate in the study, was given two “Marital Satisfaction Inventory Revised” (MSI-R) questionnaires. Twelve men and twelve women who had been married for at least two years and whose ages were between 20 and 75 completed a total of twenty-four questionnaires. All twenty-four (100%) questionnaires were returned and were used to assess the participants’ level of marital satisfaction. Results Of the twelve couples that were surveyed, only one couple was satisfied with their marriage. In other words, only one couple described their relationship as satisfying and viewed their partner as good friends. In addition, only one couple viewed their relationship as a major source of gratification, while eleven couples expressed relationship dissatisfaction with significant levels of relationship conflicts being present within the marriage. Compared to the dissatisfied couples, the satisfied couple tended to have a higher level of expression of affection towards each other, resolved their differences when they occurred and were viewed as good parents by their spouse. Conclusions In summary, the seven major factors that appeared to be areas of concern regarding marital satisfaction for couples of the Ottawa Seventh-day Adventist church were Affective Communication—an expression of affection and understanding between couples; Problem Solving Communication—a need for more effective skills in resolving differences; Aggression—a need for appropriate skills in reducing the level of intimidation or physical aggression; Time Together—a need to improve the level of “friendship” reflected in behavioral intimacy, Disagreement About Finances—a need for better money management skills so as to reduce the level of relationship discord regarding finance; Sexual Dissatisfaction—the need for an improvement in

Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
