You can use Preferences(Google it up) to store the marital status from your another_activity and load it from the preferences and display it on textView of the main Activity.

Incase the flow of your application is something like this,

Home_activty -> Another_Activity (after the user makes the status seclection),
you return back to the home_Activity (i.e)
Another_Activity ->Home_Activity

Then the solution is to start another_activity for result by the method

startAcitivtyForResult();
