This study examined the effect of socioeconomic-cultural homogamy on the marital and sexual satisfaction of Hong Kong Chinese couples. Using a representative, territory-wide sample of 1,083 first-time married heterosexual couples, this study found that wives were generally less satisfied than their husbands with their marital and sexual relationships. Husbands were more likely to be satisfied with their marriages when they were two to four years older than their wives than when they were of similar age to their wives (i.e., within one year of each other), but they were less likely to be satisfied with their marriages when only their wives were employed than when both partners were employed. In addition, they were less likely to be satisfied with both their marital and sexual relationships when their wives were five or more years older. Wives with an older husband were more likely to be sexually satisfied than wives of the same age as their husband, but they were less likely to be satisfied with their marriages when they were better educated than their husbands. The implications of the findings are discussed.
本研究考察了社会经济文化同质性对香港中 华夫妇婚姻和性满意度的影响。本研究使用具 有代表性的全港范围内的 1083 对首次结婚的异 性恋夫妇样本发现，妻子通常比丈夫对婚姻和性 关系的满意度低。当丈夫比妻子年长 2 到 4 岁而 不是同龄时，丈夫更有可能对婚姻感到满意（即 彼此相差不到一年），但当只有妻子受雇时，他 们对婚姻感到满意的可能性较小。此外，当妻子比 丈夫年长 5 岁或以上时，他们对婚姻和性关系的满 意度都较低。与丈夫年龄相同的妻子相比，丈夫 年龄较大的妻子更有可能在性方面感到满意，但 当妻子的教育程度高于丈夫时，她们对婚姻的满 意度较低。研究结果的意义将在讨论中进行讨 论。
