Following the stratified random sampling technique 160-male partners of married couples within the age range of 38-40 yrs were drawn from Raipur city to serve as participants. Correlational research design was employed to see the predicting effect of neuroticism.

For assessing neuroticism the Hindi Version of Eysenck Personality Questionnaire by Jitendra Mohan (1985) was used.
