Aile, bireylerin psikolojik, duygusal ve manevi ihtiyaçlarının karşılandığı temel bir yapı taşıdır. Özellikle eşler arasındaki manevi doyum, aile içi huzurun sağlanmasında ve bireylerin yaşamdan tatmin olmasında önemli bir rol oynar. Bu bağlamda, eşler arasındaki manevi doyumun, genel yaşam doyumunu nasıl etkilediği merak uyandıran bir araştırma alanıdır. Bu çalışmada, ailede eşler arasında algılanan manevi doyum ile yaşam doyumu arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma 2024 yılında Çorum’da 402 katılımcı ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmada “Eşler Arasında Algılanan Manevi Doyum Ölceği” ve “Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Araştırma bulgularına göre katılımcıların hem ailede eşler arasında manevi doyum hem de yaşam doyumu algılarının yüksek düzeyde olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ailede eşler arasında algılanan manevi doyum ölçeğinin tüm faktörlerinde gruplar arasında anlamlı düzeyde farklılık olduğu; diğerkâmlık faktöründe kadınlar lehine diğer dört faktörde ise erkekler lehine olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. 21-34 yaş grubundaki katılımcıların manevi doyum düzeylerinin diğer yaş grubundaki katılımcılara göre yüksek olduğu görülmüştür. Eğitim durumu ve evlenme yaşı manevi doyuma ve yaşam doyumuna etki etmezken, algılanan yüksek ekonomik düzeyin alt gruba göre yaşam doyumunu arttırdığı tespit edilmiştir. Evlilik süresinin eşler arasındaki manevi doyumu etkileyen faktörlerden biri olduğu ve evlilik süresi 0-5 yıl olan katılımcıların manevi doyumunun daha yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ancak çocuk sahibi olmanın ise eşler arasındaki manevi doyumu düşürdüğü görülmüştür. Araştırmada ailede eşler arasındaki manevi doyum ve yaşam doyumu arasında pozitif yönde, anlamlı ve genel olarak orta düzeyde bir ilişkinin olduğu diğer bir ifadeyle manevi doyumun yüksek olmasının yaşam doyumunu da olumlu etkilediği tespit edilmiştir. Dolayısıyla eşler arasındaki manevi doyumun, bireylerin yaşam kalitesini ve genel mutluluğunu arttırdığı söylenebilir.

The Relationship between Perceived Spiritual Satisfaction and Life Satisfaction between Spouses in the Family

Öz

The family is a fundamental building block where individuals' psychological, emotional, and spiritual needs are met. Spiritual satisfaction, especially between spouses, is vital in ensuring peace within the family and individuals' satisfaction with life. In this context, how spiritual satisfaction between spouses affects general life satisfaction is an intriguing area of research. This study aimed to examine the relationship between spiritual satisfaction perceived between spouses in the family and life satisfaction. The research was conducted in Çorum in 2024 with 402 participants. The “The Scale of Perceived Spiritual Satisfaction Between Spouses” and “Life Satisfaction Scale” were used in the research. According to the research findings, it was determined that the participants' perceptions of both spiritual satisfaction between spouses in the family and life satisfaction were high. It was revealed that there was a significant difference between the groups in all factors of the spiritual satisfaction scale perceived between spouses in the family; it was in favor of women in the altruism factor and favor of men in the other four factors. It was observed that the spiritual satisfaction levels of the 21-34 age group were higher than the participants in different age groups. While the educational status and age of marriage did not affect spiritual and life satisfaction, it was determined that the perceived high economic level increased life satisfaction according to the subgroup. It was determined that the duration of marriage was one of the factors affecting the spiritual satisfaction between the spouses and that the spiritual satisfaction of the participants whose marriage period was 0-5 years was higher. However, it was observed that having children decreased the spiritual satisfaction between the spouses. The study determined that there was a positive, significant, and generally medium-level relationship between the perceived spiritual satisfaction and life satisfaction between the spouses in the family; in other words, the high level of spiritual satisfaction also positively affected life satisfaction. Therefore, it can be said that spiritual satisfaction between the spouses increases the quality of life and general happiness of the individuals.
