| dc.description.abstract | This study investigates the relationship between religiosity, conflict resolution styles, love expression, and marital satisfaction among Mickyliland condominium residents using a cross sectional descriptive design. The data is collected from 339 samples of whom 33% was male and 67% female with 38.77 mean age and 12.91 mean duration of marriage. The findings reveal that 83.3 % of respondents feel moderate level of marital satisfaction with mean value 52.06. A significant positive relationship exists between religiosity and marital satisfaction. Positive problem-solving conflict resolution style shows a significant moderate positive relationship with marital satisfaction, while conflict engagement, self-protection, and acceptance styles exhibit a significant negative relationship. 14.6% of the variance in marital satisfaction can be explained by religiosity, conflict resolution styles and demographic variables while positive problem solving, being female and having a diploma were the only statistically significant predictors. Love expression through verbal communication, practical activities, gift-giving, and accommodating spouse preferences significantly contributes to marital satisfaction. Overall, the study underscores the importance of positive problem-solving and love expression in enhancing marital satisfaction beyond the influence of religiosity and demographic factors. Key words: Marital Satisfaction, Religiosity, Conflict Resolution Styles, Love Expression | |
