The data collected was entered into Microsoft Excel 2016 and SPSS 20 for data cleaning and were filtered to the SmartPLS 3. The data was check for normality using two indicators of as Skewness and Kurtosis. The data analysis was conducted using Partial least square structural equation modeling approaches with SmartPLS 3 software. The measurement models were evaluated by items loading, composite reliability (CR) and average variance extracted (AVE). The results revealed that, the measurement model assessed in this study showed acceptability with validity and reliability tests results presented in the preceding sections. The convergent validity examined through the factor loadings, composite reliability (CR), and average variance extracted (AVE). Thus with the satisfaction of all the measurement requirements, it can be concluded that, the developed problem solving strategies and marital communication styles Scales validated in this study can be used to assess the problem solving strategies and marital communication styles Scales among married teachers in kwara state Nigeria.
