Grit of individuals have been a flourishing concept in the recent past and is highly related to success, achievement and well-being of a person. The purpose of the study was to reveal the presence of relationship among the grit levels of male and female partners living together for a considerably long period of time. The influence of socioeconomic status of the family upon this relationship was also investigated in the study. A sample of 200 pairs of partners who were the parents of 200 college students within Thrissur district of Kerala was considered in the study. Both the partners were asked to respond to the short grit-S scale (2009) and the Kuppuswamy socioeconomic scale (2018 version), and the collected data was analysed statistically using Pearson correlation test. The study revealed that the grit of the partners mutually exerted its influence upon the grit of the other and it suggested that this relationship is stronger when both the parents belonged to a middle socioeconomic family status.
