| Abstract | Background: A fundamental assumption for most romantic relationships is that of exclusivity, the belief that both partners are emotionally and sexually committed to each other solely. Objectives: This study attempted to examine the predictors of marital commitment by need-fulfillment and self-expansion among married students. Methods: A convenience-voluntary sample of 194 married-students took part in the study. They completed need-fulfillment measure, self-expansion questionnaire, and marital commitment inventory. The data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and regression analysis by SPSS-PC (v.21). Results: Pearson correlation coefficients showed significant correlations between all the study variables. Multiple regression analysis revealed that need-fulfillment and self-expansion were predictors of marital commitment. Conclusions: Loyalty to spouse and family values, and the actualization of one’s potential gifts will lead to marital commitment. | en |
