Abstract

The study aimed to explore the strategies practiced by Saudi wives to confront the marital adjustment disturbance. The study applied a three-part questionnaire that includes the degree of the marital adjustment disturbance, its causes, ramifications and strategies to confront it. Using the personal interview, data were collected from 230 wives in Riyadh city within three months. The study used the descriptive and analytical approach to analyze the collected data. The results indicated that there was a high degree of disturbance in the relationship between the couples. This is because of the weakness of positive emotional expressions by the husband, which the most common effects are silence and marital silence, and its effect on the psychology and behavior of the children. The most common strategy by the wife was the strategy of positive thinking. The study recommended the following: Providing guidance and training programs by family-related organizations, training the wives to practice the positive strategies to confront family disturbances, as well as training the husbands on techniques of correct marital treatment.
