This study explores the effects of rural migrant characteristics and conjugal communication on life satisfaction of baby boomer rural migrants. A total of 205 Korean baby boomers, who are living in rural areas in the year of 2013 that had migrated from cities back in 2003 with their families, were analyzed. Their age ranged from 49 to 57 years. The statistical methods used for data analysis were descriptive statistics, t-test, and hierarchical regression analysis, with SPSS Win 20.0 program. The results of this study are summarized as follows: the reasons these baby boomers chose a rural lifestyle were 'for life after retirement,' 'because rural life is good,' 'for health reasons,' and 'for chosen profession.' The level of conjugal communication (M=3.69) and life satisfaction (M=3.23) were higher than average (M=3.0). The variables influencing life satisfaction of baby boomer rural migrants were 'increased property size,' 'better conjugal communication,' 'better health condition,' 'lower levels of money,' and 'length of time spent farming.' Furthermore, in terms of life satisfaction, the relative contributions of these variables are as follows: general characteristics 20%, rural migrant characteristics 10%, and the level of conjugal communication 6%. These results show that conjugal communication is a very important variable, as well as a rural migrant characteristic when it comes to life satisfaction of these baby boomers. Therefore, to improve life satisfaction of baby boomer rural migrants, support programs need to focus on both farming and conjugal relationships.

본 연구는 인생의 봄은 지나고 인생의 가을을 맞이하는 중년기부부관계는 결혼 전의 영향도 있지만 결혼 후에 발생하는 갈등요인이 더 많이 있다. 이유는 부부 사이의 태도와 안정되고 적절한 수입 그리고 종교 활동과 신앙성숙이 부부생활만족과의 깊은 관계가 있다고 본다. C. G. Jung은 인생의 전반기를 자기확산기로, 후반기는 자기수렴기로 구분하였는데, 자기 확산기에는 외부적.물질적 자아에 몰두하는 반면, 자기 수렴기에는 종교적 철학적 직관적 정신세계에 몰두해야만 인생전체가 균형과 통합을 이루는 중년기로 보았다. 이는 중년기의 발달과 심리적 위기를 잘 극복하고 보내면 노년기를 행복하게 맞는다. 본 연구는 중년기의 정의와 중년기의 발달특성, 중년기에서의 종교와 종교에서의 부부관계와 중년기 부부변화가 무엇인가를 연구한 후 종교에 대한 이해를 중점으로 중년기부부 생활만족도에 대한 이론들을 문헌연구로 제시하였다. 양적연구는 중년기 종교 활동과 신앙성숙도의 변인들이 중년기 부부생활만족도에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해 서울 및 수도권 내에 있는 35세 부터 60세 까지의 중년기를 연구대상으로, 2009년 3월 25일 부터 4월30일 까지 400명에게 중년기 종교 활동과 신앙성숙도 그리고 부부생활만족도 등을 설문하고 통계 처리하여 결과를 분석하였다. 첫째, 종교 활동과 신앙성숙도의 관계에서 신앙성숙도의 봉사, 관계, 영성은 종교활동에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 보였다. 이 결과는 영성적, 개인적, 공식적종교 활동은 신앙성숙도에 영향이 있음을 말한다. 둘째, 종교 활동에 따른 신앙성숙도와 부부생활만족도의 관계에서 종교 활동(t=31.36, p<.001)이 신앙성숙도에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것과 종교활동(t=33.81, p<.001)이 부부생활만족도에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것, 그리고 신앙성숙도(t=28.64, p<.001)가 부부생활만족도에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 종교 활동에 따른 신앙성숙도와 부부생활만족도에는 인과관계가 있음을 말한다. 셋째, 중년기 종교 활동과 신앙성숙도와 부부생활만족도의 관계에서 부부생활만족도에 대해서 종교 활동과 신앙성숙도 사이에 주요효과를 분석한 결과 종교 활동(F=15.95, p<.001)과 신앙성숙도(F=23.94, p<.001)는 부부생활만족도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 보였다. 이러한 연구결과는 종교 활동과 신앙성숙도와 부부생활만족도 사이에 관계성이 높은 것으로 기독교 불교 천주교의 종교 활동과 신앙성숙도가 중년기 부부생활만족도에 중요한 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있다.

본 연구의 목적은 국가 간 비교 관점에서 한국과 일본의 가족생활주기에 따른 결혼만족도 변화 패턴을 분석하고, 결혼만족도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 탐색하는 것이다. 이를 위해 2003년 한국과 2004년 일본에서 각각 조사한 전국가족조사 자료를 사용하였으며, 배우자와 동거하고 있는 5,308명의 한국인 성인남녀와 4,920명의 일본인 성인남녀를 대상으로 한 설문조사자료를 분석에 사용하였다. 결혼관계에서의 한국과 일본 간 문화적 차이와 유사성을 살펴보기 위해 교육수준과 결혼기간, 가구수입과 재혼 여부를 통제한 가운데 교육수준, 소득수준, 취업에 있어서 비전형적인 부부결합(marriage gradients), 가족스트레스, 부부 상호작용의 질이 한국과 일본 부부의 결혼 만족도에 미치는 영향을 위계적 회귀분석을 통해 살펴보았다. 그 결과, 한국과 일본 모두 가족생활주기에 따른 U자형 결혼만족도 변화패턴을 보였으며, 전 생애에 걸쳐 일관적으로 남편이 부인보다 결혼만족도가 높았다. 한국과 일본 부부의 결혼만족도에 영향을 미치는 가장 중요한 요인은 공통적으로 배우자에 대한 깊은 신뢰와 관심, 성생활 만족을 포함한 질 높은 부부 상호작용이었으며, 한국인 부부는 성생활 만족보다는 부부 상호작용의 질이 결혼만족도에 더 큰 영향을 미쳤던 반면 일본인 부부는 성생활 만족이 더 큰 영향을 미쳤다.

Marital quality was measured in two aspects: marital satisfaction and marital conflict. At the first step of the regression analysis, socio-demographic variables were entered, at the second step, variables of personality characteristics, and at the third step, variables of personality characteristics of the spouse were added. Age group of 35 and under is higher in marital satisfaction or lower in marital conflict than that of 36 to 40. People who grew up in Chungchung area are lower in marital satisfaction compared to those who grew up in Seoul and adjacent area, and those who grew up in Chunla area are higher in marital satisfaction. Marital conflict increases when people are less educated. Marital conflict decreases when the husband has high income. Religion is related to marital satisfaction and marital conflict of the husband. Stability is related to both marital satisfaction and marital conflict. Sociability of the wife is related to marital satisfaction and marital conflict of the husband, and responsibility of the wife is related to her own marital conflict. Responsibility of the husband is related to marital conflict of the wife. This result shows that the husband is expected to perform the instrumental role and the wife the expressive role. In, conclusion, these results should be considered when family life education programs for couples are constructed. First, family life cycle needs to be considered when family life education programs are offered. Second, regional differences in family culture should be put into consideration. Third, the idea that conjugal role relationships can be flexible needs to be included in family life education programs. Fourth, programs to improve stability, responsibility and sociability are needed for wives. Fifth, programs to improve stability and responsibility should be offered in work settings for husbands.

The advancement of information and transportation technologies in the context of economic and cultural globalization facilitates international marriages. However, it is ironic that image and fantasies play a significant role in the actual process of these marriages. Using data from a national survey conducted in 2006 (Survey for the Conjugal Life of the International Marriage Families) this study examines the experiences of Korean men and foreign wives. The findings confirm the negative impacts on marital satisfaction of the spousal image of hypergamy (i.e., imaginings of a high-earning husband and a submissive wife) and abbreviated marriage processes (i.e., broker-mediated marriage and incorrect information about a future spouse), but the detailed patterns differ by gender and by the ethnic origin of the wife. Korean Chinese (and to a lesser extent Han Chinese) wives are more negatively affected by the marriage process and spousal imaginings than are Southeast Asians and 'other' wives. While Southeast Asian wives are more likely to have received incorrect information about their husbands, they show significantly more flexible attitudes toward the marriage and spouses. Unification Church members are excluded from the analysis because their marital lives are distinctive enough to warrant separate research. As previous qualitative findings suggested, some Korean Chinese wives seem to perceive that returnees to the home country deserve an improvement in economic status as opposed to the disappointing reality. Imagining a submissive wife hurts the marital satisfaction of husbands regardless of the ethnic origin of the wife.
