Abstract
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.
