It was hypothesized that there is likely to be a relationship between maternal bonding, spousal romantic relationship and martial satisfaction. Correlational research design and snowball sampling technique was used to collect data. Sample comprised of 80 couples. The Relationship Questionnaire (RQ; Bartholomew & Horowitz, 1993), Romantic Love Scale (Zubric, 1990) and Enrich Marital Satisfaction Scale (Fower & Oldson, 1991) were used as assessment measures. Linear regression analysis and paired sample t-test were used. The result revealed that there was a significant relationship between maternal bonding, spousal romantic relationship and martial satisfaction. There were significant differences in maternal bonding, spousal romantic relationship and martial satisfaction of husbands and wives.
