In organization customer satisfaction, it is one of the main goals to be achieved; this could be similar in the marriage relationship whereby couples are searching for their marriage satisfaction. To achieve it, spouses need to have their own strategy and to work on it. Moreover, there are a few factors that determine satisfaction in marriage life.

Nowadays we can see the increase in the divorce rates and all parties should take it seriously so that it will not become a social problem in society.
