Abstract
Couples' sexual satisfaction, emotional intimacy, and relationship processes have been identified by researchers as predictors of relationship satisfaction. However, little research exists that has addressed how relationship processes in romantic relationships predict their relationship satisfaction through their perceptions of both sexual satisfaction and emotional intimacy. In this proposed study, we plan to examine the mediating influences of couples' sexual satisfaction and emotional intimacy on the association between their relationship processes and relationship satisfaction, with a sample of 336 married couples. Structural equation modeling will be employed for data analysis. Clinical implications for FT will also be discussed.
