Role of Dyadic Expectations and Healthy Relations in Prediction of Dyadic Satisfaction

The present study is concerned with evaluation and explanation of the role of "dyadic expectations" and "healthy relations" (faith-based relations) in "marital satisfaction". Two hundred married men and women of Kerman (100 women and 100 men) participated in this research study. They were asked to complete the following questionnaires: "Dyadic Expectations Scale" Bahrami Ehsan et al. (2010), "Healthy Relations Scale" Bahrami Ehsan Rezazadeh et al. (2010) and Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS). To make a statistical analysis of data, correlation coefficient and regression analysis were used. The results showed that the component "healthy relations" and "dyadic expectations", especially emotional connection and emotional security can explain significantly "consent" and "agreement" of the Marital Satisfaction Scale. The results suggest that "dyadic expectations" and "healthy relationships between couples" have impacts on "couple's satisfaction" and their "physical and mental health".
