Abstract
The purpose of the current research was to explore the relationship between emotional investment, commitment, and quality of life in pre-marital relationships in youth. The cross-sectional survey design was used. In total, 150 men and women participated in the research. Investment Model Scale, Relationship Assessment Scale, Quality-of-Life Scale, and Pre-marital Sexual Permissive Scale were used to assess the study variables. Findings revealed that men demand women to engage more in sexual relationships as a marital requisite which is why most male partners convince their female partner to have sex as a commitment to marriage. Furthermore, emotionally satisfying relationships promote positivity and vice versa impacting academic achievement whilst promoting anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem among both men and women. Also, women have more negative mental health in their pre-marital relationships as compared to men. Researchers also found that care, happiness, and empathy in the relationship have positive effects on mental health of young adults. This research will enable young adults and marital counselors alike in dealing with the complexities of premarital relationships.
