To identify how marital communication and marital satisfaction are influenced by assertiveness, aggressiveness, and daily hassles, 146 married couples' data regarding the Schedule for Assessing Assertiveness Behavior, the Aggression Questionnaire, the Hassles Scale, the Relationship Problem Checklist, the Communication Pattern Questionnaire, and Dyadic Adjustment Scale were collected. The results showed that marital satisfaction was influenced by various demographic factors such as the number of children, education, occupation, and love marriage. Second, marital satisfaction was influenced by marital communication, daily hassles, husband's assertiveness and wife's aggressiveness. By cluster analysis, four marital communication patterns(constructive, demand-withdraw, combative, passive positive) were identified. The couples with constructive communication pattern showed the best marital satisfaction level and the couples with demand-withdraw communication pattern showed the worst marital satisfaction level.
