Abstract
Early marriage represents an important point of personal and social reorganization. The study reports an intensive analysis of 26 newly‐married student couples drawn from a random sample of couples with known characteristics. Interview and test data indicate that emancipation from parental relationships and personal autonomy are important issues for the wives and related to judged adequacy of the marriage. Problems for the husbands are more apparent in the sphere of the work and student status, and less adequate sexual relationships. The complexity of the situation and the interrelatedness of the areas of experience are discussed, especially with respect to more simple views of adjustment in marriage.
