    Abstract

    This study examines the relationship between marital satisfaction and sexual satisfaction in Chinese families. Hierarchical multiple regression using data from the 1993 China Housing Survey indicates that, when controlling for the other variables, sexual satisfaction has considerable impact on marital satisfaction. We also found that the effects of sexual satisfaction on marital satisfaction are moderated by gender and education. The study suggests that marriage counseling, with an emphasis on promoting awareness of sexual quality, would be helpful in addressing marital problems in Chinese families.
