Abstract :
This study examined the factors affecting marital satisfaction. The main objective was defining factors which promote and ensure marital satisfaction and the stability of marital life. 300 married students of Islamic Azad University South Branch took part in this study. All the subjects were asked to complete Marital Satisfaction and Biographical Information Questionnaires. Research variables of gender, duration of marriage, age of spouse, age difference, family income and mode of acquaintance were surveyed. The results obtained from one way variance analysis indicated that gender, duration of marriage, age of spouse and age difference effect marital satisfaction. Whereas, family income and the mode of acquaintance have no effect on marital satisfaction. These findings confirmed the necessity of psychological interventions before and throughout the marital life.
