ABSTRACT
The research aims at exploring and comparing the marital satisfaction and emotional intelligence of people between age 25-65. Tools used were namely Marital Satisfaction Scale (MSS) and Exploring Emotional Abilities (EEA). A fairly representative data of 316 respondents was collected from Maharashtra; India. The analysis indicates a significant gender difference on certain areas of emotional intelligence; namely; openness to criticism; self management and empathy. A significant gender difference is also noted on two areas of marital satisfaction; namely; sexual relations and sharing household responsibilities; which can be traced to the socio-cultural influences. This has helped in understanding the relationship of gender with core traits of one's emotionality; which influence the marital relationship
