Abstract

This study aims to explore the meaning of marital life from the point of women marriage immigrants through the phenomenological qualitative methodology by Giorgi. Results showed that the meaning of marriage life were 'love, the attraction of various colors','husband, really good person', 'the reality', 'child: stability, pleasure and hardship','husband demanding Korean women's life', 'difficult and good in-laws', 'marriage is my power', 'community beyond marriage life'. The meaning that participants experienced was living like Korean woman with really good husband in unfamiliar and afraid society. This meaning was beyond the objectified negative typification of women marriage immigrant.

본 연구는 결혼이민자의 관점에서 결혼생활의 의미를 탐색하고자 Giorgi의 현상론적 방법론에 따라 진행되었다. 연구 결과 여성결혼이주민의 결혼생활 경험의 의미는 '사랑, 그 다양한 빛깔의 끌림', '남편, 참 좋은 사람', '맞닥뜨린 현실', '자녀, 안정과 기쁨 그리고 버거움', '한국 아줌마처럼 살아내라는 남편', '부대끼고 아련한 시부모와 친정부모', '결혼은 나의 힘: 노력하게 하는 원동력', '결혼생활을 넘어 공동체로' 이렇게 8가지로 도출되었다. 참여자들이 경험하는 결혼생활의 의미는 사랑에 끌려 결혼한 참 좋은 사람과 낯설고 두렵지만 부대끼면서 한국 아줌마처럼 살아나가기였다. 이는 결혼이민자를 대상화하여 다문화가정에 대한 부정적인 전형화를 넘어서는 결과였다.
