Özet:

 This study aimed to examine the relationship between attachment and marital satisfaction in couples marital experiences. The study included 601 married individuals selected by criterion sampling method, one of the purposive sampling methods, and fifteen married couples were interviewed separately. This research was designed using Creswells simultaneous triangulation design, one of the mixed method designs. The data were collected using the Personal Information Form, Relationship Scales Questionnaire, Marital Life Scale, and Semi-structured Interview Form prepared by the researchers. The findings of the study revealed that the participants gender, educational status, type of marriage, fearful attachment, and preoccupied attachment styles did not predict marital life levels. In contrast, secure attachment styles positively predicted marital life levels, whereas dismissing attachment styles negatively predicted marital life levels. In the study, it was concluded that the type of marriage has no effect on marital continuity and satisfaction and that the character traits of the spouses and the way they behave towards each other, the presence of understanding, love, interest, happiness, and peace between the spouses and having children are more determinant. The findings obtained from the study were discussed in line with the relevant literature, and suggestions were made for research and practice.

 Bu araştırmada çiftlerin evlilik deneyimlerinde bağlanma ve evlilik doyumunun ilişkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmaya amaçlı örneklem yöntemlerinden ölçüt örneklem yöntemi ile seçilmiş 601 evli birey seçilmiş ve örneklem içinden on beş evli çift ile ayrıca görüşme yapılmıştır. Bu araştırma Creswellin karma yöntem tasarımlarından biri olan eşzamanlı üçgenleme tasarımı ile desenlenmiştir. Araştırmadaki veriler araştırmanın alt amaçları doğrultusunda oluşturulan Kişisel Bilgi Formu, İlişki Ölçekleri Anketi, Evlilik Yaşam Ölçeği ve araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan Yarı Yapılandırılmış Görüşme Formu ile toplanmıştır. Araştırma bulgularına göre katılımcıların cinsiyet, eğitim durumu, evlenme şekli, korkulu bağlanma ve saplantılı bağlanma stillerinin evlilik doyum düzeylerini yordamadığı bulunurken, güvenli bağlanma stillerinin evlilik doyumunu pozitif yönde, kayıtsız bağlanma stilinin ise negatif yönde yordadığı görülmüştür. Araştırmada evlenme şeklinin, evliliğin devamlılığına ve doyuma etkisinin olmadığı, eşlerin karakter özelliklerinin ve birbirlerine karşı davranış şekillerinin, eşler arasında anlayış, sevgi, ilgi, mutluluk, huzurun bulunması ile çocuk sahibi olmanın daha belirleyici olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgular ilgili literatür doğrultusunda tartışılarak araştırma ve uygulamaya yönelik önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
