Abstract
This study focuses on the attitudes of married couples and the differences between their attitudes depending on how long they have been married. It also looks at the results of a survey in which 186 couples participated. These couples had been married from between one year to sixty-one years. Participants were divided into 3 groups based on how long they had been married. The main results are as follows:
1. Wives mainly display positive attitudes such as sympathy or closeness. On the other hand, husbands exhibit oppressive tendencies and a lack of awareness.
2. Couples married for a short time generally display positive attitudes
3. Couples married for between fifteen and twenty-nine years do not often display positive attitudes and the attitudes of husbands tend to be negative
4. The longer the marriage is, the attitudes of wives seems to be neither positive nor negative, while husbands tend to display negative attitudes, which wives feel are oppressive.
