Evli çiftlerin değerlerinin, evlilik içi ilişki ile evlilikteki yaşam doyumunu anlamlı düzeyde açıklayıp açıklamadığı ise çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizi ile test edilmiştir. Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgulara bakıldığında, evlilik yaşamı doyumunun, değerler ölçeğinin alt boyutlarından güç, uyarılma, yardımseverlik ve güven ile pozitif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Ayrıca değerler ölçeğinin başarı, hazcılık, uyarılma, evrensellik, geleneksellik ve uyum alt boyutlarının evlilik yaşamı doyumunu yordadığı görülmektedir.
