Document Summary

Shyness in one or both partners is associated with low levels of marital satisfaction. High levels of extraversion predict mutual marital satisfaction in both partners. High levels of conscientiousness predict higher levels of satisfaction in husbands. Similar levels of openness predict higher levels of satisfaction in husbands. Similar levels of agreeableness predict higher levels of satisfaction in wives. Ecurity of each part(cid:374)er"s attach(cid:373)e(cid:374)t to his/her fa(cid:373)ily of origi(cid:374) is also a(cid:374) i(cid:373)porta(cid:374)t factor. Attachment security is one of many variables that works with others to influence relationship satisfaction later on in life. Affects quality of peer relationships, life stresses, and patterns of interaction between partners. Intimacy feelings that promote closeness and connectedness, passion feeling of intense longing for union with the other person (including sexual union), and commitment to a particular other, often over a long period of time. When the 3 components are combined in all possible ways, end up with 7 sub-varieties of love (figure 14. 2 page 414)
