Abstract
One hundred married individuals completed questionnaires measuring marital satisfaction, passionate love, social desirability and six relationship-relevant variables - global happiness, relationship excitement, relationship boredom, sex-minus-arguments frequency, amount of shared activities and kissing frequency. Consistent with previous research, marital satisfaction had moderate to large correlations with the six relationship-relevant variables; for most variables, these correlations remained after partialing out passionate love and social desirability. For women, passionate love was moderately correlated with marital satisfaction and with the six relationship-relevant variables; for most variables, these correlations remained after controlling for marital satisfaction and social desirability. However, for men there were no significant correlations with passionate love.
