Abstract
In a subsample of married individuals, 97 married men and 154 married nomen, who had participated in a larger study of retention of church m embers, an effect size of 0.28 was found between gender and marital sa tisfaction as measured by the standard 21-point, three-item Kansas Mar ital Satisfaction Scale.
