It is stated that of the women have the more problem solving skills, they have the less marital satisfaction (p<0.01). It is determined that by increasing the ages of the women and their husbands and rising their education level, their gender attitude points decrease (p<0,05) and they have a more traditional attitude. The women who are married by arranged procedures have a more equitable attitude than the women married by loving, agreeing (p<0,05). It is determined that by rising the educational level of women and men, marital satisfaction and problem solving skills in marriage increase (p<0,05), working women’s marital satisfaction is higher comparing to the housewives and they are more successful at problem solving skills (p<0,05). As a result, it can be suggested that there is a tendency from traditional attitude to equitable attitude and the factors such as age, education and working status affect less. It is suggested that more detailed studies should be undertaken to verify this conclusion.
