Abstract
The present study investigates marital adjustment and its association with stress, mental health, expectations, and body image among married and unmarried individuals from rural and urban areas of Pune and Nashik. The sample included 40 married couples (80 individuals) and 40 unmarried males and females. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, F-test, correlation, and multiple regression. Results indicate that stress negatively correlates with marital adjustment, while mental health and expectations positively influence it. Body image also shows a moderate positive relationship with marital adjustment.
