Communication is a crucial aspect of any relationship, especially in marriage. Effective communication can strengthen the bond between partners and promote marital stability. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the impact of Verbal and Non-Verbal communication on Marital stability. Survey data was collected with semi structured questionnaire from 400 selected marriage couples in the Sunyani Municipality via a multistage sampling approach. Descriptive statistics and partial least squares structural equation modelling was employed for data analysis.

The findings of the study show that majority of respondents perceive “Communication is the key to a successful marriage” with a mean score of 2.81. With regards to the PLS – SEM, constructs validity and reliability test were good.  Moreover, the Standardized root means square residual (SRMR) value of 0.070 and Normed Fit Index of 0.881 and Goodness of fit (GOF) value of 0.360 indicates that the structural model is fit. Overall two relationships were hypothesised in the study. The results further showed that both verbal communication and non- verbal communication were supported and has a positive relationship with marital stability. In addition, the results indicated that, majority (268) respondents agreed that “lack of respect” is the main barrier of effective marital communication, with a mean score of 2.81 whereas majority (143) of the respondents agreed that “Too much information out at a time” was the least barrier of effective marital communication, which had a mean score of 2.12.
