Abstract
The study evaluated the implications of the symbolism of clothing on conjugal relationships. The study was a survey conducted in Kpando and Klepe in the Volta Region of Ghana. 180 samples made up of 90 middle-aged men and 90 middle-aged women were selected conveniently from sympathizers to funerals and interviewed using an interview guide. Findings revealed that 70% of the respondents had failed in their first marriage. Another 57% had had their second marriage abrogated already. Ninety percent of the men confirmed that their marriage failures were due to the sexual dissatisfaction that set in along the line. Ninety-four percent of the women claimed that their husbands were involved in extra-marital relationships. Married couples were advised to value seductive clothing as it would go a long way to strengthen their marital relationships.
