Perception of Influence of Value on Marriage

This study investigated the values held in marriage by married
employees in universities. It adopted a descriptive survey design.
Data were collected with questionnaire. Analysis of data was by the
use of mean and t-test statistics. The results show that while
procreation and companionship among others were very highly
valued in marriage; power and wealth were highly valued. The order
and extent of value varied due to gender and length of years of
marriage though not significantly. It was therefore recommended that
premarital counseling should be given to intending couples.
