The results, revead thad the model all fitness indices were all of appropriate. The path coefficients of self-efficacy in romantic relationship to relationship maintenance strategies and the relationship maintenance strategies to marital satisfaction are significant(p<0/001) , but the path of self-efficacy in romantic relationship to marital satisfaction was not significant, relationship maintenance strategies has rol of the mediator between self-efficacy in romantic relationship and marital satisfaction. Therefore, it seems that people who have high self-efficacy in romantic relationship due to the use of relationship maintenance strategies experience more marital satisfaction
