In the long-run, it was found that socio-cultural variables play vital roles on the marital bliss of couples in the society. In the foregoing, the following recommendations were forwarded by the researcher.

(2) Couples should try to have one faith. It is not ideal that husband and wife should have different religious backgrounds or beliefs.
(3) For couples to maintain marital happiness and togetherness, love must be watch-word in the family. Without love, affection and element of trust, couples will not go far in their marriages.
