Intl. Res. J. Appl. Basic. Sci. Vol., 3 (12), 2513-2518, 2012 sexual aspects, includes ability of individual for accepting <strong>com</strong>mitment toward others. Sometimes this <strong>com</strong>mitment requires sacrificing. This kind of <strong>love</strong> be<strong>com</strong>es apparent when someone is deeply capable of being in <strong>love</strong>, respect others, care about others and accept responsibility of others. So a person in <strong>love</strong> can sacrifice that it leads to success in marriage (Abdolmaleki, 2008). Love as an important factor can lead to marital satisfaction and stabilize marital relation. Marital satisfaction is a universal evaluation of marital relation or romantic relation of an individual (Ghomrani, 2005). On the other hand, in the current research it was shown that there is <strong>negative</strong> relation <strong>between</strong> <strong>negative</strong> <strong>affection</strong> and marital satisfaction. But there is <strong>positive</strong> relation <strong>between</strong> <strong>positive</strong> <strong>affection</strong> and marital satisfaction. Results of this hypothesis is <strong>com</strong>patible with findings of Johnson and Keroger (2006), Chalbiano (2007), Matlabzade (2007). Mental happiness is a broad concept that en<strong>com</strong>passes experiencing desired emotions, low levels of <strong>negative</strong> emotion and high level of life satisfaction (Johnson and Keroger, 2006). Mental happiness is reflected in criteria and evaluation of people about life in cognitive aspects, psychological function and social functions and mental happiness in relatively stable in life span and is influenced by primary environment. What determines mental happiness is a desired environment in family and existence of <strong>com</strong>mon life of parents as well as their marital satisfaction. Mental happiness has three <strong>com</strong>ponents that include life satisfaction, <strong>positive</strong> <strong>affection</strong> and <strong>negative</strong> <strong>affection</strong>. Each <strong>com</strong>ponent is divided into sub<strong>com</strong>ponents. For example satisfaction includes <strong>love</strong>, marriage, etc and <strong>positive</strong> <strong>affection</strong> includes pleasure, <strong>love</strong>, etc and <strong>negative</strong> <strong>affection</strong> includes guilty, embarrass, etc. as <strong>positive</strong> <strong>affection</strong> decreases and <strong>negative</strong> <strong>affection</strong> increases, couples be<strong>com</strong>e more unsatisfied and vice versa. So <strong>positive</strong> <strong>affection</strong> is <strong>positive</strong> feelings and will increase life satisfaction and <strong>negative</strong> <strong>affection</strong> is <strong>negative</strong> feelings and has an <strong>negative</strong> influence on marital satisfaction. Also according to results of current research, there is <strong>positive</strong> significant relation <strong>between</strong> safe attachment and marital satisfaction but there is <strong>negative</strong> significant relation <strong>between</strong> ambivalent and avoidant attachment and marital satisfaction. This result is <strong>com</strong>patible with results of Besharat(2001), Inzoreth (1991), Hazen and Shaver (1987, quoted by Kaplan), Cob, Davila, Bradbory (2001), Pinez (2005), Besharat (2001), Besharat, Sharifi and Irvani (2001), Besharat, Golinejad and Ahmadi (2002). Self confidence and trust toward others is an internal psychological trait of someone who has safe attachment and helps the individual in getting help from others. Also in marital life these people, through healthy and normal relation with their spouse, provide condition for pleasurable life (Besharat, 2001). Positive understanding and social support are other traits of a person with safe attachment style that can explain aforementioned findings. Positive understanding of spouse strength supportive interactions of them and it can lead to marital satisfaction (Pinez, 2005). Ability of problem solving in these individuals is a result of normal discovery. It is re<strong>com</strong>mended that young adults who are going to marry participate in workshops that are held for instructing skills of expressing <strong>love</strong>, etc. it is re<strong>com</strong>mended that solutions for preventing and treating in frame of attachment theory be used. It is re<strong>com</strong>mended that in counseling session before marriage attachment style and amount of <strong>love</strong> and evaluation of life by couple be considered because it can affect choosing spouse and preventing divorce.
