Married couples living together for 3-10 years have the highest level of trust in communication, mutual understanding, similarity of views and ease of communication. Those who have lived together for more than 10 years have the least therapeutic relationship.Couples with up to 3 years of experience are actively and positively in the process of conflict interaction in raising children and in the process of agreeing on norms of behavior. Couples with 3-10 years of experience better build relationships with relatives, friends and in determining the dominance of one of the couple, and in violation of role expectations are negative and destructive.

With age, the relevance of personal growth, focus on achievements and intellectual and cultural orientation decreases.Values change with the experience of married life. Help, compassion for other people, love, knowledge and respect for people, influence on others are most pronounced in a young couple; high social status, people management, social activity to achieve positive changes in society, communication are important for those who have 3-10 years of married life experience. The least important in the group of subjects who have been married for more than 10 years are: the search for and enjoyment of the beautiful, help and compassion for other people, love, knowledge and respect for people and influence on others.In all groups of subjects, marital satisfaction depends on the characteristics of the family environment, on communication and interaction in conflict, on value orientations.
