Abstract
This study aimed at revealing the role of five main factors in personality and its relation to marital satisfaction among Saudi women married. To achieve this goal, the researcher used the descriptive analytical approach. The study sample consisted of 200 Saudi women married in Jeddah, aged between 17 and over 32 years. In order to achieve the objectives of the study, the researcher used a list of the five main factors to measure the personality prepared by Hisham al-Husseini and its researcher and the measure of "marital satisfaction" by Walter H. Hudson. 1982 To analyze the results, the researcher adopted the following statistical methods: The mean, standard deviation, alpha cronbach, split half reliability, Pearson correlation coefficient, T test for two independent samples, variance analysis test and linear regression analysis. The main results of the study were:
There is a negative relationship between marital satisfaction (dimensions and total degree) and the nervous dimension in the sample of the study. There is a positive relationship between marital satisfaction (dimensions and total degree) and purity - purity. There are statistically significant differences between marital satisfaction due to differences in duration of marriage.
