Sažetak

Seven hundred and seventy marriage couples in the city of Zagreb
were included in the study of potential predictors of marriage
satisfaction. Marriage satisfaction was defined as a global
feeling of satisfaction in marriage (measured by 1-item 5-point
scale), and only wife’s marital satisfaction was measured. Seventy
seven potential predictors grouped in 5 blocks were entered
into hierarchical and step-wise hierarchical regression. The
blocks were: premarital partners’ characteristics, both partners’
perception of marital processes, objective and subjective economic
status of the family, objective marital characteristics and outof-
marriage influences. Five blocks of predictors explained 47%
of dependent variable variance, with the block marriage processes
contributing the most. The most important predictors of
wife’s global marital satisfaction proved to be wife’s perception
of sexual intimacy in marriage, love for husband, feeling of being
loved by husband but also husband’s perception of sexual
intimacy in marriage, and his less participating in raising children
and strategic decision making.
