Marriage satisfaction has become one of the key areas of interests in counselling profession. To most individuals, marriage is one of the most desirable lifestyles. At some point in life, both men and women develop desires to find a partner to marry or someone who can marry them. While most people choose to marry, marriage satisfaction has become a crucial issue among the marrying populations. Each person longs for a satisfactory marriage life. While individuals desire to have perfect and satisfying unions, sometimes married individuals face difficult challenges such as dissatisfaction regarding marital needs such as emotional needs and sexual satisfaction. Most married couples register cases of divorce, domestic violence, and separation. Therefore, marital stability depends on the level of a couple’s satisfaction in marriage (Strong, DeVault & Cohen, 2011). These problems indicate that marital satisfaction is a significant area of concern that challenges the institution of marriage as well as the contemporary family and marital therapists. Usually, the therapists examine various factors that may influence marital satisfaction when assisting the couples to establish satisfactory marriages.
