本研究以「女性的宿命觀與婚姻關係的相關研究」為主題，其主要關懷的問題意識在於：一、理解研究參與者作為重度肢障者女性配偶，在婚姻生活中，如何在面對自己婚姻的處境。二、理解研究參與者作為重度肢障者女性配偶，在婚姻生活中，個人信念受如何受原生家庭的牽動。三、理解研究參與者作為重度肢障者女性配偶，在婚姻生活中，個人婚姻觀如何受民間信仰(算命經驗)的牽動。 論文之研究方法是採用質性研究的敘事研究方法，以一位重度肢障者之女性配偶為研究對象，進行訪談收資料，研究者透過研究參與者自身對生命經歷的敘說，來深入女性受到算命的指引找尋到生命中的伴侶，並以文化為內心支持的力量，促使自我發揮女性認情的情結。 而後將取得之生命故事文本資料，進行縱合分析，藉以揭示「宿命的情緣」的本質及其背後之意涵。 根據研究發現，女性對於所選擇的男性類型作為婚姻伴侶，乃是依據內心的渴望；女性的本質有助於實現道德與倫理，作為婚姻犧牲與奉獻的基礎。 期望透過本研究對於華人女性角色在婚姻裡的定位能有所啟發，以及由女性視角所開啟的人情倫理，同時，關懷弱勢家庭的婚姻狀況。 The study intends to explore the relationship between a woman's sense of destiny and marriage. It primarily concerns how the subject, as a spouse of a husband with profound physical disabilities, deals with her marriage and to what extent the family of origin and folk belief (fortune-telling especially) exert influences on her conception of life and marriage. The narrative method of qualitative research is adopted and the interview between the subject and the researcher is conducted. It displays the process of how the subject is in search of her destined mate by the indication of fortune-telling and the conviction of folk belief, and eventually, cherishes her destined love. The transcribed text is synthetically analyzed to elaborate the essence and implication of the female destined love. It is found out that woman will choose her spouse based on the male soul-image and that female essence can help realize ethic and morality as the cornerstone of marriage. The study expects to shed some light on woman's role in marital life and also suggests some ways to lead a better life in the public field.
