RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FEELING THE EFFECT OF RELIGION IN MARRIAGE AND MARITAL ADJUSTMENT

The aim of this study is to determine whether the variables of feeling the effect of religion in marriage significantly predicted marital adjustment. The participants consisted of 389 married individuals (170 female, 219 male). In the study, the Dyadic Adjustment Scale and a 9- item question index which is thought to show the effect of religion in marriage were used. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to reveal the relationship between marital adjustment and the variables of feeling the effect of religion in marriage. According to the results of multiple regression analysis, when 9 variables of feeling the effect of religion in marriage were taken together, they were found to have a significant relationship with marital adjustment scores. These 9 predictive variables significantly explained about 33% of the total variance in marital adjustment scores (R= .571, R2= .326, p< .001). On the other hand, when the results of the t-test regarding the significance of regression coefficients are examined, 3 variables (praying for the good of the spouse, the effect of religious belief on being more understanding and forgiving in familial problems, and the softening of divorce attitudes due to religious belief) are significant predictors of marital adjustment. The other 6 variables (avoiding of extramarital affairs because religion orders, deepening commitment to spouse because of religious faith, seeing marriage as a sacred institution, observing religious orders and prohibitions in marriage, breaking fast (iftar) with wife and children during the month of Ramadan, praying with family after dinner) were not significant predictors of marital adjustment. The findings of this research have been discussed and interpreted in the context of the relevant literature.
