There has been increasing interest in adult attachment from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. It was conceptualized as the affective connection between two individuals that provides them with a firm emotional foundation from which they can interact with the world. In this review, we present theoretical issues related to adult attachment, in particular, individual differences, working models, and the role of attachment in adult romantic life. The literature review examined topics such as relations between childhood experiences and adult attachment status, and adult attachment and adult personality and functioning, parenting and partnership behavior. Attachment styles was classified into two categories, i.e., secure and insecure (anxious and avoidance). Studies indicate that securely attached individuals are trusting, happy, have better communication and conflict resolution skills than insecure individuals hence better marital satisfaction.
