Exploring Marital Satisfaction and Work-Home Balance in a Church in North Texas Using Solution Focused Narrative Therapy

Abstract

This qualitative research explored marital satisfaction and work-home balance using Solution Focused Narrative Therapy (SFNT) with Christian couples. Phenomenological analysis was used to look at the experiences of six married Christian couples. The results demonstrated that many Christian couples would be noticing a healthy work-home balance. The main umbrella theme that came up was spousal roles and there were seven sub themes/categories. The other umbrella theme was work-home balance with six sub themes. The findings contributed to filling a gap in the literature related to work-home balance in Christian couples.
