Objective: This study aimed to examine the effects of adult children's marriage-delay on their parents' mental health. Furthermore, this study investigated how the influence of adult children's marriage-delay on parents' mental health could vary depending on the coresidence and employment status of the marriage-delayed adult children. Method: Two waves of Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (KLoSA) were used for the analyses. Multiple regression models were conducted with 2,938 Korean parents who had at least one child, regardless of gender (aged 33~44). Results: First, adult children's marriage-delay was related to lower levels of parents' life satisfaction. Second, the levels of parents' life satisfaction were low regardless of residing with their marriage-delayed adult children, and the parents who were not living with their marriage-delayed adult children showed lower levels of life satisfaction than parents living with marriage-delayed adult children. Third, only the parents with unemployed marriage-delayed adult children showed significantly higher levels of depression. However, the levels of parents' life satisfaction were low regardless of the employment of marriage-delayed adult children, and the parents of unemployed marriage-delayed adult children showed lower levels of life satisfaction than the parents of employed marriage-delayed adult children. Conclusions: It is necessary to consider the effects of marriage, employment and coresidence of adult children on their parents in order to enhance the mental health of the parents. Also, the effects of marriage-delay on intimate relationships, such as family dynamics, need to be explored more in further research.

본 연구는 베이비부머 세대의 어머니(1955-1963년생)를 둔 에코부머 기혼 여성(1979-1992년생) 382명을 대상으로 사회인구학적 배경변인, 부모-자녀 분화, 결혼안정성, 심리적 복지감 간의 관계를 살펴보았다. 그 결과 친정 어머니와의 월 평균 접촉 빈도가 많을수록 어머니와의 친밀감(연결성)이 높았다. 결혼지속년수가 높을수록 결혼안정성은 낮았고, 교육수준이 높고, 월평균 가구 소득이 높을수록 자기수용성이 높았다. 또한 맞벌이 가정의 여성이 외벌이 가정의 여성에 비해, 친정 어머니로부터 자녀 양육 도움을 받는 기혼 여성이 도움을 받지 않는 여성에 비해 타인과 신뢰할만한 관계를 형성하거나 만족감을 나타내지 못했다. 어머니와 잘 연결되어 있거나 친밀감이 높은 사람은 결혼안정성이 높았고, 결혼안정성이 높은 사람은 심리적 복지감이 높았다. 부모-자녀 분화 수준이 높은 기혼 여성은 자기수용성이 높을 뿐만 아니라, 타인과의 관계 또한 긍정적인 경향이 있었다.

This study attempted to achieve an understanding of how ever-single women in their 40s and 50s deconstructed and restructured on marriage and family. For this aim, this study adopted a qualitative method. The participants were 13 single women in their 40s and 50s who had never been married. In-depth individual interviews were carried out, focusing on ever-single women's views about marriage and family. The result of theme analysis indicated that the participants considered marriage as an unfavorable lifestyle for women. The participants could be split into two types based on their perspectives on marriage. The first type had a universal concept of marriage. In other words, they believed that when they growup, they should be married women. The other type had a negative concept of marriage because of their parents'unhappy marriage. Despite their view of marriage, all of the participants recognized marriage as a patriarchal structure. Also, they had a strong sense of responsibility to their original families. They had a broad definition of family, so they considered their parents, siblings, and siblings' family members as their family. In addition, they interacted with their families, especially their mothers, who did not have control over their lives but supported them and showed interest in their lives. Like this, the participants maintained their views of married life and family without changing after their single status and had close relationships with their family members.

This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the Marriage Checkup (MC) in community settings. Participants (N=57) were recruited from family centers and participated in the MC, which consisted of assessment and feedback visits. Participants completed marital satisfaction assessments before and after the MC. Overall, the participants reported significant improvements in terms of marital satisfaction with a large effect size (d=0.87). Specifically, 77.2% of participants demonstrated an increase in marriage satisfaction. Among them, 30.6% experienced a clinically significant change (from a clinical state to a non-clinical state). The reliable change index (RCI) identified 15.8% of participants as showing reliable improvement. Changes in marital satisfaction were larger for men and participants who experienced more positive changes during the MC in terms of intimacy and understanding of how to improve their marital relationships. This study supports the MC as an evidence-based approach for improving relationship health in community settings.

This study examined attitudes toward factors underpinning a successful marriage and their associations with marital satisfaction among married men and women in midlife. The sample comprised 201 married men and women aged between 40 and 59 living in Seoul, South Korea, and the data were collected by a self-report survey in 2019. Attitudes toward factors underpinning a successful marriage were measured using 12 items from the European Values Study Master Questionnaire 2008 and marital satisfaction was measured using three items from the Kansas Marital Satisfaction Scale. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were performed in order to identify the factors deemed important for a successful marriage, as well as a t-test to explore gendered domains. Additionally, regression analysis was conducted to examine the association between attitudes toward factors underpinning a successful marriage and marital satisfaction. The results revealed two factors that were deemed important for a successful marriage: 'marital exchange based on conditions' and 'qualitative interaction based on sharing.' Women were more likely to believe that both factors were important for a successful marriage than men. The regression analysis revealed that 'qualitative interaction based on sharing' had a positive association with marital satisfaction, while 'marital exchange based on conditions' had a negative association with marital satisfaction, and also that these associations did not differ by gender. The findings imply that a successful marriage can be achieved when married partners make efforts to maintain their relationships through positive interactions and share intimacy in midlife.

본 연구는 국제결혼을 선택한 국내 남성배우자들의 결혼동기와 배우자와의 관계형성 내용과 과정 그리고 질적인 변화 등을 생애사 연구방법(Biography research method)으로 접근하여 그들의 구체적 경험세계를 살펴보고자 하는 목적을 지니고 있다. 본 연구에는 국제결혼을 한 10명의 국내 남성 배우자들이 참여했고 연구참여자들과의 심층면담을 통해 자료를 수집했다. 자료를 분석한 결과 연구참여자들의 결혼동기는 도구적 성격이 강했다. 연구참여자들은 동업자 관계를 유지하다 교환가치가 비동등해지자 긴장과 갈등이 생성되었고 이 위기에 대응하는 방식에 따라 혼인관게가 종료되기도 했고 유지되기도 했다. 혼인관계를 유지하고 있는 연구참여자들은 자기의 문화를 해체한 후 배우자 문화와의 접점에서 이를 재구성했고 그후 새로운 디아스포라적 위치로 자리이동을 했다. 연구의 함의에서는 결혼이민여성들을 지구화 시대의 새로운 디아스포라(neo-diaspora)로 보는 관점의 학문적 필요성을 역설했고 제언에서는 문화간 교육(intercultural education)을 제언했다.

This study examines how marital dissatisfaction is connected with extramarital relations among married women. To explore this subject,1 am using in-depth interview techniques. The data from 16 married women who involved (and are involving) extramarital relations are collected in semistructured interviews. In this article, I describe four specific types of extramarital relations with particular relevance to marital dissatisfaction: (1) temporary extramarital relations caused by marital dissatisfaction, (2) positive extramarital relations as maintaining dissatisfied marriage, (3) unavoidable extramarital relations as breaking dissatisfied marriage, and (4) extramarital relations as a part of life with satisfied marriage. With these results, I believe that equity theory could be applicable in explaining the relationships between marital satisfaction and extramarital relations. There are limitations when the qualitative research is analyzed. One problem is measurement. It is difficult to measure equality (or equity), life dissatisfaction, and other concepts. furthermore, this study is not abbe to explain causal relationships among equality, life dissatisfaction, actual extramarital relations. The future study should perhaps be in quantitative research focused on the causal model in which all exchange variables are conceptualized and properly measured for the intimate relationship.
