- Title
Satisfaction and Stressors in a Religious Minority: A National Study of Orthodox Jewish Marriage.
- Authors
Schnall, Eliezer; Pelcovitz, David; Fox, Debbie
- Abstract
The paucity of mental health studies with Orthodox Jews makes culturally competent counseling care unlikely. In this large-scale investigation of marriage among Orthodox Jews, most respondents reported satisfaction with marriage and spouse, although satisfaction was highest among recently married couples. The most significant stressors were finances, communication, physical intimacy/sexuality, time pressures, and in-law conflicts. Counseling interventions are discussed.
