This study aims to present the relationship of the family structure with the creation of satisfaction reported by families in the Arequipa metropolitan area, by applying a predictive model. For this purpose, a probabilistic sampling was carried out by applying a survey to 800 families (including legalized stable marriages and stable unions with or without children under 18, and single people with children under 18 years), and perceptions were collected regarding partner satisfaction, satisfaction with their children and job satisfaction. Regression statistical techniques were applied to analyze the possible effect of family structure on the indicators in question. The results suggest that satisfaction with the partner, children and the work is significantly higher in family with structures established at weddings, compared to stable union structures. The socioeconomic status and educational level are also associated with greater satisfaction

Keywords : Family structure; satisfaction; marriage; cohabitation; single parent.
