Abstract

A research was carried out on 770 married couples to identify premarital variables which determine marriage satisfaction and marriage stability. 78 premarital variables were included as independent variables. Dependent variables were husband’s marital satisfaction, wife’s marital satisfaction and marital stability. According to the results sociability of the partners turned out to be the most predictive variable for both partners' marital satisfaction, as well as for their marital stability. The results could be used in marriage counselling.
