Abstract

Intertribal marriages are increasingly common in multicultural societies and present challenges such as cultural differences and language barriers, which can affect marital harmony and satisfaction. These differences may lead to conflict and reduce relationship quality if not managed adaptively. This study aimed to analyze communication styles in intertribal marriages and examine the relationship between communication styles and marital satisfaction based on gender, ethnic background, and length of marriage. The study employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive correlational survey design. The subjects included 389 adults in intertribal marriages. Data were collected using the Communication Styles and Marital Satisfaction Questionnaire with a reliability coefficient of 0.79 and analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s Product Moment correlation at a 0.05 significance level. Results indicated that avoidance was the most dominant communication style (approximately 40% of respondents), while overall marital satisfaction was high. No significant relationship was found between communication styles and marital satisfaction, nor were there significant differences based on gender, ethnic background, or length of marriage. The findings suggest that marital satisfaction is more strongly influenced by relational factors and cultural sensitivity than by communication style alone. These results imply the importance of strengthening partner attentiveness, emotional support, and cultural accommodation, which can inform counselors, social workers, and psychologists in efforts to enhance harmony and satisfaction in intertribal marriages.

Abstract

Marital dissolution among secondary school teachers is a growing concern with far-reaching emotional, social, and professional consequences. The demands of the teaching profession, coupled with financial pressures and work-life conflicts, often contribute to relationship breakdowns, leaving affected teachers vulnerable to stress, stigma, and decreased job performance. This paper explores the impact of marital dissolution on teachers. The study adopted a descriptive survey design with a quantitative approach. The research instrument consisted of a structured questionnaire divided into several sections: demographic information, stressful life events, coping resources, personal perceptions, and adaptation outcomes. Data analysis was conducted using both descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. The result found counseling provides emotional support, stress management techniques, problem-solving skills, and referrals to essential resources such as legal aid and financial advisors. Addressing marital dissolution through targeted counseling interventions will not only enhance teachers' well-being but also improve their overall effectiveness in the classroom. It is therefore suggested that teachers should prioritize communication in their marriage.  Open and honest communication is key to a healthy marriage. Teachers should set aside time to discuss feelings, resolve conflicts early, and actively listen to their partners. Clear communication strengthens emotional bonds and prevents misunderstandings that can lead to marital breakdown.
