The present study objective is to predict the dyadic adjustment with socio-demographic, religious, sexual, emotional states and personality features variables. The sample consists of 100 married couples. A questionnaire is used as measure instrument which is integrated by closed questions and scales to measure: dyadic adjustment, sexual satisfaction, alexithymia, anxiety, depression, positive and negative affects, social desirability and marital aggrandizement. The data are analyzed by correlation, factor analysis and regression. The dyadic adjustment is associated with marital aggrandizement, anxiety-trait, and sexual satisfaction; with alexithymia and depression especially in men; and with smaller force, with low level of negative affects and high level of positive affects. When factoring the dyadic adjustment interrelated correlates, a neuroticism and negative emotions factor, that it is the main predictor of dyadic adjustment lack, arises. It considers that the marital aggrandizement should be interpreted as self-defecting and infatuation better than as a social impression manage.
