ABSTRACT
This study was carried out to find out the general marital satisfaction level of The Church of Pentecost leaders in the Cape Coast Area. A descriptive survey design was used for the study. A sample size of 340 was selected for the study through the stratified and simple random (lottery method) sampling procedures from a population of 1975 church of Pentecost leaders in the Cape Coast Area. Three research questions and four hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. Data from respondents were gathered by the use of the Marital Satisfaction Inventory (MSI) developed by Essuman (2012). The findings of the study revealed that most of the respondents were ‘very satisfied’ with their marriage. However, most of the respondents did not speak to anyone about their marital problems whiles more than half of the respondents would prefer to go to a counsellor when they had marital problems. There were statistically significant difference in the marital satisfaction levels of the respondents with regard to gender, age, educational level and duration of marriage. Based on the findings, it was recommended that couples be encouraged to talk to professional counsellors about their marital problems. Professional counselling services were also to be made available to church leaders. Finally, pastors should be taught counselling at the theological seminary.
