Gender Differences in Environmental Influences on Marital Satisfaction: A Path Analysis

Pages 63-75 | Published online: 09 Jun 2015
 

Abstract

A path analysis of a random sample of 86 couples consisting of male pastoral counselors and their wives demonstrated that husbands and wives do not necessarily have the same perceptions of their environments. Environmental factors were found to have both direct and indirect effects on marital satisfaction for both spouses; however, the effects for wives were not the same as those for husbands. These suggest that meeting the housing needs and values of both spouses may be a factor in marital well-being.
