Abstract: | Communication is the lifeline of any relationship, particularly that of married couples. For much of the conversation between married couples is the expression of feelings, thoughts, and experiences. Words expressed enable a spouse to enter into the inner-most thoughts and feelings of their partner. The result of communication is to get a response from a partner. This paper attempts to view verbal communication as an ingredient for marital satisfaction. Three hundred and seventy-five (375) married respondents were randomly selected for this study in Zaria. The data was statistically analyzed using frequency count, percentages, and Mann-Whitney U-test to determine the pleasantness of married couples' communication. The result indicated an overall communication pleasantness as expressed by the respondents, hence, marital satisfaction was achieved. The implications of the findings for marital satisfaction were drawn. Suggestions for improving communication were outlined. |
