Nazar Shireen, Vanagondi Madhu Shravan Kumar, Shwetha Shivayogi Durgad
Abstract: This study examines the differences in conflict resolution strategies, relationship satisfaction, and sexual satisfaction between married and unmarried long - distance couples. A descriptive research design was employed, and a sample of 219 adults from Kerala, India, participated in the study. The results revealed that unmarried long - distance couples engage in more effective conflict resolution strategies, specifically positive problem - solving, compared to their married counterparts. However, no significant differences were found in relationship satisfaction and sexual satisfaction between the two groups. Demographic variables, such as gender and birth order, were found to be significant predictors of relationship satisfaction and sexual satisfaction. The study's findings have implications for the development of tailored interventions that consider individual backgrounds and relational contexts, encouraging further exploration of the dynamics influencing long - distance relationships. The results can inform the creation of specialized therapies and support services for long - distance couples, enhancing their well - being and reducing the risk of breakup.
