An Empirical Study

Abstract

The current research aims to identify the relationship between marital compatibility and some variables among a sample of primary education teachers in Libyan society. The sample included (200) teachers, and the correlational approach was used, as well as the questionnaire to collect research data. The marital compatibility scale was valid and reliable. Several statistical methods were used to achieve the research objectives, such as: Pearson's correlation coefficient, alpha coefficient, percentages, and weighted mean. The research concluded that the most prominent manifestations of marital compatibility among female teachers are: religious commitment, rearing children according to the teachings of Islam, supporting each other, mutual trust, and similarity in customs and dispositions with the husband, and that the level of marital compatibility among female teachers is high, and that there is a statistically significant positive relationship between marital compatibility and the variables: availability of basics and luxuries, the husband's trust in the wife, and the husband's consultation with the wife, and that marital compatibility is statistically significant and negatively related to the interference of others in the couple's life, and the wife's exposure to violence by the husband. Finally, several recommendations were presented in light of the results reached.
