Abstract Identification of descriptive factors associated with marital happiness has often held few practical implications for the marriage counselor. The present research investigated the relationships between marital adjustment, values-systems, and self-concept for individuals and couples. Results indicate a high positive relationship between marital adjustment and self-concept, and between marital adjustment and people-oriented values-systems for individuals. Marital adjustment was correlated with self-concept, and non-statistical data suggest a relationship between marital adjustment and people-oriented values-systems when shared by spouses. Implications for practising marriage counselors are developed.
