| Summary: | 碩士 === 輔仁大學 === 兒童與家庭學系碩士班 === 105 === The purpose of this research is to understand the correlation among sexual behaviors, intimacy and marital quality of newlywed couples. Sexual behavior includes sexual intercourse, while intimate behavior consists of sexual satisfaction and emotional intimacy. Marital quality contains marital satisfaction and marital stability. The data was drawn from a research project granted by the National Science Council Research Project with the newlywed couples, with a total of 142 pairs of married couples.
The results of this study found that there was not a significant correlation between sexual intercourse, and marital quality of newlywed couples. In contrast, the intimate behavior of newlywed couples had a significant positive correlation with marital quality. For newly married couples, the frequency of intimacy can increase the different aspects of feelings with each other. For a newlywed husband, sexual intercourse tends to increase sexual satisfaction and emotional intimacy, while for a newlywed wife, it only increases the amount of sexual satisfaction, but does not improve emotional intimacy.
The findings of this study also showed that the frequency of sexual intercourse between newlywed husbands and wives has an effect on the quality of marriage by increasing emotional intimacy. The frequency of sexual intercourse of newlywed wives contributes to the satisfaction of marriage through sexual satisfaction. Intimate behavior of newlywed couples affects their marital satisfaction and marital stability through emotional intimacy, but intimate behavior of newlywed couples does not have a significant effect on sexual satisfaction.
For Chinese culture, sex was a forbidden issue in the past and always be regarded as a tool for pregnancy, so that the emotional connection between partners was not taken seriously. It was hoped that the newlywed couples could attach more importance to each other's intimate feelings, which would be helpful to enhance the quality of marital relations.
