ABSTRACT:
A descriptive study was conducted among 45 housewives living in Tholur Panchayath to assess the relationship status and life satisfaction among housewives. The objectives of the study were to assess the relationship status and life satisfaction, determine the correlation between them, and find associations with selected sociodemographic variables. A total of 45 samples were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data was collected using a self-structured sociodemographic questionnaire, the Satisfaction with Life Scale, and the Relationship Assessment Scale. Statistical analysis showed that 51.1% of the subjects had an average level of relationship satisfaction, 35.6% had high satisfaction, and 13.3% had low satisfaction. Regarding life satisfaction, 37.8% were satisfied, 26.7% slightly satisfied, 15.6% slightly dissatisfied, 13.3% neutral, 4.4% extremely satisfied, and 2.2% dissatisfied. A significant positive correlation (r = 0.648, p = 0.001) was found between relationship status and life satisfaction. No significant association was found with sociodemographic variables.
