The study examines the relationship between incompatibility and midlife crises among married couples in Jos metropolis. Correlational design was adopted as the design for this study. The convenience sampling techniques was used in selecting 1,500 married people as sample respondents in this study. A self-designed questionnaire titled “Incompatibility of Midlife Crisis among Marital Couples” (IMCMC) was used for data collection. The data were analysed using regression. Findings from the study showed that there was a relationship between incompatibility and midlife crises among married couples. It is recommended that counselling should be provided to improve the commitment of the couples thus strengthening the stability of the marriage.
