Abstract:

This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between marital values, marital satisfaction and marital types of married individuals. For this purpose, the relationship between married individuals' marital values, marital satisfaction and marital types has been examined. The study was carried out with a total of 457 married individuals; 268 female and 189 male. In this study, The Marital Values Scale, The Marriage Life Scale and The Marital Typology Scale were used. The data were analyzed with the 17.00 SPSS package program. Pearson Correlation Test, Multiple Regression Test and Independent Group T-test Analysis techniques were applied. As a result of the analysis, it was found that there was a significant positive correlation between covenantal marital value and traditional type and associated autonomous type; a negative correlation between covenantal value and autonomous type of married individuals. In addition there was a significant positive relationship between marital value and marital satisfaction. A positive relationship was found between marital types (traditional type, associated autonomous type and autonomous type) and marital satisfaction. However, marital values and marital types (traditional type, associated autonomous type and autonomous type) together were found to predict marital satisfaction significantly. Finally, the traditional type and associated-autonomous type of marital values and marital types showed a significant difference according to gender. According to this, men's marital values and traditional type scores were significantly higher than women; women's associated autonomous type scores were higher than men.
