The age range of participants was between forty five and sixty five years. Six participants were selected using snowball sampling while data were gathered using face to face interviews. Responses were recorded using a digital voice recorder and analysed using the thematic content analysis technique. Results indicated that men in polygamous families experience a number of problems such as financial constraints, strained relationships with their children, conflicts with wives, insults, sickness and loneliness. The study also revealed that men are open to discuss their marital problems. However, in some rare cases positive effects like marital satisfaction were also reported. It is recommended that counselling service providers should introduce programmes that support and cater for the needs of males in order to build sustainable families and homes. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
