This study investigated some of the causes of marital pathology of Zulu couples.
Through a questionnaire, the study investigated factors which affect Zulu marriages. It
was found, according to thi~ research, that communication and infidelity by Zulu
husbands are serious causes of marital pathology. The research also revealed that the
historical and cultural nature of the Zulu marriage contributes to marital pathology.
The second aim of the research was to investigate the marital therapy of Zulu couples.
The question was whether marital therapy works among the Zulus, given the
unwillingness of Zulu husbands to be counselled. The researcher found that Zulu
husbands are resistant to being counselled.
A therapeutic model was designed and used with two case examples. In both cases
divorces were averted. This seems to indicate that marriage counselling can restore
most of the Zulu marriages if husbands could cooperate in being counselled with their
wives. / Psychology of Education / M. Ed.
