|
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate the psychological factors that affect marital satisfaction or
divorcelikelihood in clinical couples.
Methods: Clinical couples (n=57) who visited “M” couple clinic participated in the study. Datawas collected from September 2005 to June 2006 using a Marital Satisfaction Scale, a Marital Status Inventory, Beck DepressionInventory, Maudsley Obsessional-Compulsive Inventory, and Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory.
Results:The couples showed high scores on depression, obsessive-compulsion, personality factors and divorce probability and alow score on marital satisfaction. The wife’s obsessive-compulsion was a predictor of her marital satisfaction, and the wife’ssocial introversion and depression, and husband’s obsessive-compulsion were predictors of the wife’s prospect of divorce.The husband’s hypomania and depression were predictors of his marital satisfaction, and there were no predictors of the husband’s prospect of divorce.
Conclusion: Obsessive-compulsion is a significant factor in a couple’s relationship, althoughprevious studies have not been interested in obsessive-compulsion. Divorce likelihood should be evaluated for clinical couples as well as marital satisfaction, because it is more important for divorce prevention. Each spouse who has a psychologicalproblem such as depression, obsessive-compulsion, and deviated personality needs individual therapy as well ascouple therapy.
