This monograph is the result of a two-year study that was conducted in an attempt to fill the void in current marital research literature by exploring the relationship among perceived sex roles, marital values, and marital adjustment and satisfaction among 215 married cross-cultural individuals, who were surveyed and who lived in the United States of America at the time of the research. The research explored three different research questions: (1) The relationship between sex roles and marital beliefs; (2) The relationship between sex roles and marital adjustment/satisfaction; and (3) The combined effects of the relationship of sex roles and marital beliefs on levels of marital adjustment and satisfaction.
