Abstract

The success of a marriage hinges on the ability of couples to fulfil each other's needs and desires. Committed partners prioritize and consistently make efforts to improve the quality of their relationship. Therefore, it is crucial to examine demographic factors that could potentially predict marital satisfaction among couples residing in the Kaduna North Local Government Area of Kaduna State. The cross-sectional survey research design was adopted using an accidental sampling technique to select one hundred participants from the ages of 18-45 who were both male and female. Two hypotheses were stated and tested using the Independent Sample t-test and One-Way Analysis of Variance. Results revealed no statistically significant gender [t(98)= -1.154, P > 0.05] and age [F(2, 97) = 1.371, P > 0.05] differences in marital satisfaction among couples in in Kaduna North LGA. We concluded and recommended that for marriages to last and be healthy there must be satisfaction from each couple. Therefore, seminars and conferences should be organized by psychologists for married adults on marriage satisfaction and enlighten the couples on the challenges of marital relationships.
