A Study of Connubial Adjustment in Relation to Professional Stress Among Female Educators of Sangrur District

Abstract

In ancient India the teacher was given the status next to God. It is the teacher who makes man. It is who makes
one‟s life worth living. Several eminent persons have paid rich tributes to teacher. Sir John Adams calls him „a
maker of man.‟ H.G. Wells has described the teacher as a real maker of history. The success of an educational
institution depends on the quality of its educators. In fact, no system of education can raise above the level of its
educators. The teacher, therefore, occupies a central position in any system of education. He has been regarded as
the architect of a Nation. His influence is confined not only to a particular region or state but it extends to the whole
nation or even outside it. But due to an era of growing complexities and pressures where human constitution and
capacities are being taxed severally, the stress is relating to teaching job becomes predominant feature of teacher‟s
modern life, exerting far reaching effects on focal teacher‟s behavior, on connubial adjustment as well as on the
occupation. Due to professional stress a female teacher can‟t give proper time to her husband, her children and to
whole family. She has little attachment to other family members as in the case of joint family. But if there is proper
balance between her connubial lives and occupational, she can easily handle all the problems related to life and she
can enjoy all the comforts of life.
