Example of the Measures of Association Option

Select marital status and click Y, Response.

4.

Select sex and click X, Factor.

From the red triangle menu next to Contingency Analysis, select Measures of Association.

Example of the Measures of Association Report

Since the variables that you want to examine (sex and marital status) are nominal, use the Lambda and Uncertainty measures. All of them are small, so it seems that there is a weak association between sex and marital status.
