The study investigated Home Economics programme as a tool for marital conflict management. A descriptive survey was used for the study. The population consisted of all members of Home Economics Teachers’ Association of Nigeria (HETAN), Ondo State chapter. Sample of one hundred and sixty-three (163) respondents were drawn from the total population using simple random sampling technique. A self-developed structured and validated questionnaire was used for data collection. Data were analyzed using mean. Findings reveal among others lack of trust; parental interference; economic pressure and unrealistic expectation as part of the factors responsible for marital conflict. Findings also revealed mental health issue; inappropriate care for children; communication breakdown and economic instability as part of the implications of inappropriate handling of marital conflict in homes. Furthermore, decision-making process to attain family goals; principles of selection and utilization of family resources and homes and family in a changing world were revealed as part of the contents of Home Economics programme that could help in marital conflicts management. As people consider going for counselling in preparation for marriage, they should also consider taking at least a remedial course in Home Economics to further equip them for stable marital life. |
