Abstract

The present study aims to identify/recognize the differences in the levels of anxiety about the future among women who remain late behind the common marriage age. These differences can be referred back to many variables such as: chronological age (the younger than 30 to 40) in opposition to the (older women whose age ranges between 41 and 48); work (women who work and women who do not work); the level of education received (intermediate level – university education level – the level of postgraduate studies); as well as the socio-economic level (middle class or high class). The study comes up with the following conclusion: there are statistically significant differences among late married women due to the age variable: the study finds out that the older women are more worried about the future than their younger counterparts. Moreover, there are statistically significant differences among late married women due to the work variable: the study reveals that those who do not work are more anxious about the future than those who work. Furthermore, there are statistically significant differences among late married women due to the variable of the level of education they receive: those who have received intermediate and university education feel more unrest about the future than those who pursue their postgraduate studies. The study, also, shows that there are statistically significant differences among late married women due to the variable of their socioeconomic level: middle class women are more worried about the future than those who belong to the upper social class. Taking these results into consideration, the researcher recommends that families of late married women should stop being very demanding in their requirements to consummate the marriage. The study also recommends that families should instill the value of marriage in the hearts and minds of their offspring. Moreover, the study recommends that media and the clergy should draw attention to the negative psychological consequences of marital delay
