The relationship between life satisfaction, optimism, and self-efficacy, as well as their unique variance in predicting life satisfaction among married couples, was investigated in this study. The data was collected through purposive sampling, with a total sample size of 250 married males and females. Pearson correlation, t-test, and regression were used to analyse data, and the results were discussed accordingly. According to the findings of this study, life satisfaction, optimism, and self-efficacy all have a significant relation. Males and females differ significantly in terms of life satisfaction, optimism, and self-efficacy. Optimism and self-efficacy together explained 9.3% of the variation in life satisfaction.
