dc.description.abstractAlthough many studies have sought to investigate predictors of marital satisfaction, a majority of these studies have been done in the Western context (Alder, 2010; Marks, 2005; Rois, 2010). Therefore, the aim of the current study was to evaluate whether certain premarital and concurrent variables act as predictors of marital satisfaction in Lebanon. The predictor variables to be studied are: courtship length, communication patterns (the 4 Horseman of the Apocalypse theory) and, religiosity. The study was a quantitative survey design using a purposeful convenient sample consisting of 318 participants in heterosexual marriages lasting for more than one year and under 10 years. The questionnaire administered consisted of a demographic section, consent form, modified 4 Horseman of the Apocalypse questionnaire, Revised Intrinsic/Extrinsic Religious Orientation Scale (ROS) and the Quality Marital Index. It was hypothesized that religiosity and courtship length are positively correlated with marital satisfaction whereas negative communication patterns are negatively correlated with marital satisfaction. Results of the study showed that length of courtship, presence of the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse and religiosity were predictors of marital satisfaction.
