چکیده مقاله:

Introduction and Purpose: Marital satisfaction is one of the most important factorsaffecting the mental and emotional stability of couples and a successful marriage. This article aimsat reviewing studies on effective factors in the marital satisfaction of couples in Asian countries.Materials and Methods: This narrative review study was carried out on research articles conductedin Asian countries and published from ۲۰۰۰ to ۲۰۱۷. They were identified through relevantkeywords and advanced search in databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, Springer, ScienceDirect, Web of Science and SID. Results: Reviewing the articles led to the organization of theresults into three main categories of factors affecting marital satisfaction in Asian couplesincluding demographic factors (type of marriage, age of getting married, age difference betweenthe couples, length of marriage, education level of the couples, employment status of the couples,children and the economic status of the spouse), cognitive factors (mental health of the couples)and interpersonal factors (relationships, interactions, and international marriage). The resultsshowed that a higher education level was related to increased marital satisfaction but great agedifference, women’s employment and having young children resulted in marital dissatisfaction incouples. For most of the studies conducted in countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran and Pakistan, thefactor of traditional marriage presented conflicting results. In some areas, it resulted in couple’sdissatisfaction while in other areas, it did not. However, in East Asian countries, the traditionalmarriage was often deemed a crucial factor in marital dissatisfaction of couples. Conclusion: InAsian countries, women usually report less marital satisfaction than men. The stage of marriage(length of marriage) is a U-shape factor in marital satisfaction. Socio-economic factors affectmarital satisfaction, and the wife’s employment causes marital dissatisfaction. Therefore, sincetraditional marriage is still in practice in most Asian countries, the different factors will not bemoderated and marital dissatisfaction will continue to exist.
