Marital adjustment is important for a successful married life. Rogers (1972) views the concept of marriage as basis of many marital adjustments. The present study was undertaken to study the marital adjustment of government and private teachers and to examine if there is any significant difference between the two groups across different aspects of marital adjustment. The study was conducted in Jorhat district of Assam. A total of 100 samples (50 government teachers & 50 private teachers) were selected purposively for the study. Data was collected from the respondents by using an interview schedule prepared by the researcher. The findings of the study revealed that majority of the respondents were in average level of financial adjustment, emotional compatibility and upbringing of children. However, government teachers were found better adjusted than private teachers in all aspects of marital adjustment. Statistical analysis (z-test) also showed a significant difference between the two groups in the aspect of financial adjustment and upbringing of children. There was no significant difference found between the two groups in the aspect of emotional compatibility.
