Abstract: Numerous studies have indicated that personality traits have both a positive and negative impact on marriage quality. However, such researches with Catholic married people in Kiambu Deanery are lacking. The study objective was to determine the association between personality traits and marital quality among married people in Kiambu Catholic Deanery, Archdiocese of Nairobi, Kenya. The study made use of a correlational research design. A sample size of 193 participants was chosen for the study using proportionate stratified sampling. The Big Five Inventory Scale and the Revised Dyadic Adjustment Scale were used to collect data for the study. SPSS version 32 was used to do correlational analysis on the data. Apart from negative emotionality, the data revealed that all four personality qualities linked favorably with marital quality. The study suggests that future studies be conducted with married couples rather than married individuals.
