However, the gender role is not related to satisfaction relationships. An inverse relationship was found between marriage satisfaction and the presence of children. That is, with the advent of children there are difficulties that can reduce the subjective satisfaction of marital relationships. In addition, there is an inverse relationship between marriage experience and communication trust. That is, with the increase in the number of co-lived years, the level of trust in the partner in communication decreases. The differences between persons with different types of gender roles on the properties of marital communication, such as: trust and psychotherapy, were also disclosed. The conclusions of this article can be considered that the main factors of marital satisfaction are the peculiarities of interpersonal communication and the presence of children in marriage. The impact of family life experience on the trust in marital communication is indirectly identified.
