기혼여성의 결혼생활 중요도인식과 결혼생활만족

국문 초록 (Abstract)

우리나라 기혼여성이 결혼생활에서 중요하게 여기는 복지욕구와 그 복지욕구가 실제의 결혼생활을 통해 충족되고 있는가를 알아보기 위해 청주를 비롯한 청주와 대전에 거주하는 기혼여성 431명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 조사대상자의 평균 나이는 43.3세였고 전업주부가 52.0%로 직장여성보다 약간 많았으며 조사 대상자의 남편이 전업주부의 역할을 하는 경우도 2.1%로 나타났다. 우리나라 기혼여성이 결혼생활에서 중요하게 여기는 결혼생활중요도는 경제력, 남편과의 대화, 자녀문제(양육 및 관계), 시댁식구와의 관계, 자신의 여가 및 문화생활, 남편과의 성관계 순으로 나타났다. 이러한 기혼여성의 복지욕구에 비해 전반적으로 결혼만족도는 낮게 나타나고 있는데 특히 경제력, 남편과의 대화, 자신만의 문화 및 여가생활 부분에서 중요도와 만족도의 차가 크게 나타나고 있다. 결혼생활의 불만족 이유로는 경제적 이유와 시댁식구와의 불화, 남편의 무관심 등을 들고 있으며, 이 중 이혼을 고려해 본 적이 있다는 사람이 60.8%였다. 대부분의 기혼여성이 결혼생활에 문제를 갖고 있었으나 가족문제나 결혼문제로 상담을 받은 경험은 거의 없었다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the welfare need of married women and examine how much their welfare needs fulfilled through their marriages. Four hundreds thirty one married women from Cheongju and Deajun were included in this study. According to the survey, the mean age of the participants was 43.3, 52.0% of them were housewives, and 2.1% of husbands were housekeeper.
The result indicated that Korean married women importantly consider the conversation with husbands, the problem of children(parenting and relationship), the financial power, the relationship with the esteemed family of their husbands, their leisure and cultural lives, and the sexual relationship with their husbands in their marriages as their welfare needs. The marital satisfaction of participants was relatively lower than their welfare needs. Specifically, there were significant differences between the degree of importance and the degree of satisfaction on the financial power, the conversation with husbands, and their own leisure and cultural lives.
The reasons of dissatisfaction with their marriages were the economical matter, the trouble with the esteemed family of their husbands, and the indifference of husbands. 39.2% of participants answered that they had never considered the divorce.
Although most of the participants had problems on their marriage lives, only 5.8% of them experienced the professional counseling and 23% of them answered that they don't need the professional counseling. According to this result, the married women disregard the role of professional counseling centers. Therefore, the important role of professional counseling centers should be informed to the married women.
