Marriage and Quality of Sex

Paper Summary:

This report deals with the correlation between marital quality and sexual satisfaction. The report explores sexuality through a relational context with marriage and other associated issues, using a research format. The report provides a rationale, traces the history of marriage, relates it to the factors under investigation, and presents a hypothesis that states the conversely beneficial relationship that sexual satisfaction has with a decrease in factors associated with marital strife. The report also uses a method of a comparative literature review to test this hypothesis against the findings of extant research on the interrelation between sexual satisfaction and successful marriage, while also providing a critique of existing literature on the subject before moving on to assess future research and make recommendations.

From the Paper:

"Seeing how sexual satisfaction interrelates with marriage is important to study, because it opens doors for the professional in terms of their understanding of what may constitute the lack of this satisfaction and what might be done about this situation in the helping relationship. If a professional really understands the links and correlations between marital quality and sexual satisfaction, they will also have a clear understanding of how to integrate this information into their professional practice. There is also an abundance of critical text on the subject of correlating sexual satisfaction and marriage, which further underscores the importance of these and associated issues. "Sexuality is woven into the fabric of many close relationships. It is sanctioned in marriage, it is often explored in dating, and it is an intricate part of other committed romantic relationships. The past decade saw a marked increase in scholarly interest in sexuality within a relational context" (Scott and Sprecher, 2000).""
