Marital satisfaction is no longer a given in today’s world, with different factors contributing to the poor marital quality experienced in most marriages. This study attempted to find out if there is any relationship between factors affecting marriages. Participants were chosen via purposive sampling, where married people were the intended target. Marital satisfaction, family relations and psychological distress were carefully examined to see if there is any relationship between them. Also, gender differences in marital satisfaction and psychological distress were also examined. The differences in reported marital satisfaction between old and young individuals were also examined, using a total sample size of 200 (N=200). Results showed that there were differences between males and females in psychological distress but not on marital satisfaction. Older people also reported higher levels of marital satisfaction compared to younger people. Implications for the study include a deeper understanding into family dynamics and association of family life to psychological distress. Implications for this study show that families and married couples should be helped to achieve higher marital satisfaction and family relations in order to reduce the onset of psychological distress, and the gender of the spouse in no way affects the ability to enjoy a happy family life
