The way of marriage and family relationship the couple and their families can be effected on their primitive cognition of each other and their adaptability and marital satisfaction. So, the present study was conducted to compare marital satisfaction in individuals with kinship and non-kinship marriage. For this purpose, 210 subjects (30 people in each group) were selected by available sampling method and tested by Afrooz couple satisfaction scale. Data analysis showed, there was no significant difference between the overall score of marital satisfaction in individuals with kinship and non-kinship marriage. But at the subscale level, there was a significant difference between two groups on the problem-solving, Ideal thinking and communication skills. therefore, it seems that the provision of family education and counseling in order to improve communication skills and problem-solving skills among couple with -kinship marriage. Especially, more family relationships between kinship couples in some cases can lead to misunderstandings and differences if not properly managed, which weakens the couple's interactions. Of course, one of the reasons for the weakness in communication skills between kinship couples, in turn, can be the inability to use the right problem-solving methods, which can be controlled and managed to a large extent through training and counseling.
