Relationship Satisfaction Predictors: A Longitudinal Review

What decades of research shows actually predicts long-term relationship satisfaction

The Long-Term Research

Longitudinal research on relationship satisfaction -- following couples over years and decades -- produces the most reliable findings about what actually predicts satisfaction over the long term. The factors that predict satisfaction at the beginning of a relationship and the factors that predict it after twenty years are different.

The Long-Term Predictors

Long-term predictors that the longitudinal research consistently identifies: the quality of the friendship underlying the romantic relationship; the conflict resolution strategies the couple has developed; the degree to which each partner feels known and appreciated by the other; and the shared meaning and purpose that the couple constructs over time. Passion predicts early satisfaction. The friendship predicts long-term satisfaction.
