SEXUAL SATISFACTION AND MARITAL STABILITY AMONG MARRIED TEACHERS IN DELTA AND EDO STATES

Guidance and counselling

This study investigated sexual satisfaction and marital stability among married teachers in Delta and Edo States. The study was guided by one research question and one null hypothesis. A post-facto research design was adopted for this study. The population of the study was 5,500 married teachers in Delta and Edo States. 1,000 married teachers, who were selected using multi-stage sampling procedures using purposive and simple random (ballot) sampling techniques, constituted the sample of the study. Face, content, and construct validate sexual satisfaction and marital stability. Questionnaires were used to collect data for the study. The reliability of the instrument was established using Cronbach's Alpha with a reliability index of 0.76 and 0.87 for the sexual satisfaction and marital stability scale respectively. Data collected from the respondents was analysed with The Mean, Standard deviation, simple correlation, and regression statistics. The findings of the study showed that there was no significant relationship between sexual satisfaction and marital stability among married teachers in Delta and Edo States. Based on this finding, it was recommended that counsellors in secondary schools should from time to time give information to teachers on how they could improve upon their sexual activity skills and marital relationships, particularly during pre-marriage consultations, to further ensure marital stability.
