Analisis data penelitian ini menggunakan regresi linear berganda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang positif dan signifikan antara marital expectation dan keintiman hubungan dengan kepuasan pernikahan, dengan nilai Fhitung> Ftabel (117,150 > 3,088), p-value = 0,000 (p-value < 0,05), nilai R = 0,838, dan nilai R square adalah 0,703 atau 70,3%. Secara parsial, terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara marital expectation dengan kepuasan pernikahan, dengan nilai rxy = 0,274 (p< 0,05) serta terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara keintiman hubungan dengan kepuasan pernikahan, dengan nilai rxy = 0,626 (p < 0,05). Sumbangan efektif marital expectation terhadap kepuasan pernikahan sebesar 2,4%, sedangkan sumbangan efektif keintiman hubungan terhadap kepuasan pernikahan sebesar 67,9%. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa keintiman hubungan memiliki pengaruh yang lebih kuat terhadap kepuasan pernikahan dibandingkan marital expectation.
