Self-report questionnaires were used to collect data, using purposive sampling. The findings indicated that the females dominated the study with 53.2%.

Half of the respondents were postgraduate members of staff with a master’s degree (45.5%) and a PhD (4.6%). First marriage members dominated the study (98.2%). Findings also indicated that the majority headed families (58.7%). Data analysis using means showed that personal power was low on the average mean index (overall mean~2.33). The level of marital satisfaction was found to be very satisfactory on the overall mean (3.27). The findings also indicated an insignificant difference between personal power and gender with a sig value of .019 and marital satisfaction and gender with a sig value of .215. There was a significant relationship between the levels of personal power and marital satisfaction (sig .000).
