Abstract
This study examined 157 remarried couples with middle or high school children to identify factors affecting marital satisfaction. Sociodemographic factors such as sex, family income, type of remarried family, and presence of a biological child of the remarried couple were identified as independent variables associated with remarried couples’ marital satisfaction. The results of an analysis of the effects of all factors on marital satisfaction indicated that role ambiguity was found to be the most significant factor explaining the level of remarried couples’ marital satisfaction, followed by role conflict, conjugal communication, family boundary ambiguity, family support, and type of remarriage in descending order of statistical significance. Concluding practical recommendations for social work are made based on these results.
