This paper examines the marital adjustment of working class and non-working class women in Port
Harcourt metropolis in Rivers State, Nigeria. The survey research design was used for the study. The
sample consisted of three hundred (300) subjects selected through multi-stage random sampling
procedure from four selected suburbs- Oroworokwo, Rebisi, Ogbunabali, and Orogbum in the Port
Harcourt metropolis. Data was collected using the Marital Adjustment Questionnaire that was
constructed by the researchers. Independent t-test statistics was used to test the first and second
hypotheses while analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to test the third hypothesis at 0.05 level of
significance. Results showed that both working class and non-working class women exhibit no clear
difference in their marital adjustment. The educational attainment of women does not affect their marital
adjustment. Women who are of low income status exhibit the same degree of marital adjustment as
those of high income status. The implications of the findings are discussed.
