Abstract
This study explores gender differences in marital adjustment among love marriage couples residing in Nagpur city, Maharashtra. A quantitative approach was adopted, utilizing the Marital Adjustment Scale developed by Kumar and Rastogi (1999). A total of 80 participants (40 males and 40 females) were selected through purposive sampling from residential areas of the city. Results revealed no statistically significant gender differences in overall marital adjustment scores, suggesting that love marriage couples in this urban Indian context adapt similarly to marital challenges regardless of gender. Implications for family counseling and marital therapy are discussed.
