Relationship satisfaction is one of the key elements affecting overall life satisfaction. This study aimed to identify significant predictors of relationship satisfaction in young adults in a romantic relationship. The study was questionnaire-based, involving 237 young adults who were currently in a relationship. Three self-rating scales were used: CSI-32 Relationship Satisfaction Scale, Sexual Satisfaction Questionnaire, and Unidimensional Relationship Closeness Scale. Sexual satisfaction proved to be a main predictor of relationship satisfaction in both sexes. For women, interpersonal closeness was additionally important, with a sense of closeness found to be even more important than sexual satisfaction for women cohabiting with their partners. Cohabiting people are generally more satisfied with their relationship, and a higher level of closeness and applied caresses can additionally be observed in them. In contrast, the relationship length appeared to matter only for men living with their partner: they were more satisfied with the relationship at the beginning of the relationship, and then their level of satisfaction declined. Relationship satisfaction in young adults appears to be determined by other factors depending on gender and cohabitation status. Nevertheless, at this age, sexual satisfaction proves to be one of the most critical factors for a sense of relationship satisfaction.
关系满意度是影响整体生活满意度的关键因素之一。本研究旨在确定处于恋爱关系中的年轻成年人关系满意度的显著预测因素。该研究采用问卷调查的形式，涉及 237 名目前处于恋爱关系中的年轻人。使用了三种自评量表：CSI-32 关系满意度量表、性满意度问卷和一维关系亲密量表。性满意度被证明是两性关系满意度的主要预测因素。对于女性来说，人际关系的亲密程度更为重要，与伴侣同居的女性发现亲密感甚至比性满意度更为重要。同居的人通常对他们的关系更满意，并且在他们之间还可以观察到更高程度的亲密感和应用的抚摸。相比之下，关系长度似乎只对与伴侣同居的男性重要：他们在关系开始时对关系更满意，然后满意度下降。年轻成年人的关系满意度似乎取决于性别和同居状况等其他因素。然而，在这个年龄段，性满意度被证明是关系满意度的一个关键因素。
