Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to examine the marital maintenance experience of married couples with a 10-year age gap or greater, focusing on the younger wives’ perception.
Methods: In-depth interviews were conducted with six younger wives, and the data was analysed based on interpretative phenomenological analysis.
Results: A total of 5 large themes and 16 small themes with components were derived: “into a more comfortable place than now,”; “with others attentions followed always,”; “sometimes we are considered under the same title ‘married couple’, but sometimes not,”; “going into husband’s time,”; and “role of caring changes due to physical limitations.”.
Conclusions: This study is significant in that it raises the academic understanding of the marital relationship where a large age gap instructs basic data for couples counseling for those couples.
