    (Addis Ababa University, 2015-11) Zemene, Gashaw; Mekonen, Dawit (PhD)
    There were controversial research findings in regards to the association of marital satisfaction with religiosity and romantic attachment style and attitude towards marriage especially about particular gender differences. For instance in Servaty and Weber concerning the relationship between Gender and attitude towards Marriage. Hence this research was intended to investigate the attitude towards marriage and marital satisfaction, and whether the participants’ sex affect or influence in attitude towards marriage and marital satisfaction. The study was conducted on 58 research participants who are married matrimonially in Debre Mihret St. Michael Church. Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed for data analysis. The study found that many participants (79.7%) had a positive attitude towards marriage. But some of the respondents don’t feel satisfied and they don’t feel that their partner is a source of happiness for themselves. Finally, though there is no significant gender difference over the attitude towards marriage and marital life satisfaction the study showed insignificant difference when it compared the mean scores, where females had better attitude towards marriage than males having a Mean score of 15.9865 and 15.8286 respectively, and males were found to be more satisfied in their marital life than female participants having a Mean score of 10.9143 and 10.7826 respectively.
