Marriage is one of the most important decisions that an individual may make in their life. Marital satisfaction is among
the main determinants of life quality and psychological health. The manner of regulating the couples’ emotion, which is affected
by attachment styles, accounts for the degree of their marital satisfaction. The current research aims to investigate the relation
between attachment styles, marital satisfaction and emotion regulation among married people. For this purpose, the questionnaires
for intimate relations (attachment styles) (ECR-S), difficulty in emotion regulation (DERS), and empowering marriage life for
couples (ENRICH) were distributed among 89 married men and women who expressed their willingness to respond and cooperate
in the research. The responses were analyzed by SPSS. The results reveal that the anxious attachment style is the predictor for
happiness with sexual relations and religious orientation of the couples.
