The present study aimed to investigate the difference between male and female partners on marital adjustment and studied the relationship between marital adjustment and trust among the married couples. Purposive sampling procedure was adopted. The sampling consisted of 50 married couples (50 men and 50 women) from the urban population, who were married for 5 to 10 years. The sample was administered ‘Marital adjustment questionnaire’ by P. Kumar and K. Rohatangi and ‘Trust scale’ by Remple and Holmes. The data collected was scored and analyzed using independent sample‘t’ test and Pearsons correlation. The findings indicate that there was a significant positive correlation between marital adjustment and trust. However there was no significant gender difference on the two variables. Qualitative research in the future would help to gain insight into factors affecting trust in marital relationship, which in turn can help professionals bring about awareness among married couples towards a better adjustment in married life.
