ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the support consciousness of the son-in-law’s towards their mother-in-laws and also to study their marital quality(marital satisfaction, spousal influence, spousal loyalty) based on the relation-satisfaction between mother-in-law and son-in-law. We selected 319 married men who had their mother-in-laws as participants of this study and their age groups ranged from the twenties to the sixties. The major findings of this study were as follows: (1) There were significant differences in marital quality and also in the son-in-law’s relation-satisfaction with their mother-in-laws with respect to the two-income family, the number of children and the educational level. (2) Marital satisfaction, spousal influence and support consciousness towards mother-in-law affected positively the relation-satisfaction between the mother-in-laws and the son-in-laws.
