Hudson Sexual Satisfaction Questionnaire (ISS), Marital Intimacy (MIS), Adams & Jones (1997) Marital Commitment (CPQ) and Christian and Salawi (1984) communication patterns were used to collect data. After collecting and extracting data, participants' scores were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis. The results showed that there was a significant positive relationship (0.01) between sexual satisfaction and marital intimacy with marital commitment of satellite employees and a significant positive relationship (0.01) between the components of reciprocal constructive relationship with marital commitment and reciprocal patterns of expectation / withdrawal and avoidance. There is a significant negative relationship with marital commitment (0.01).
