It aimed at examining the factors that contribute to Subjective well- being and to find out if there is a difference between married individuals and cohabiting individuals in terms of subjective well-being. The sample consisted of 60 individuals who were matched with respect to the number of years they have been in a committed relationship. It was hypothesized that there is a relationship between subjective well-being and factors such as positive affect, negative affect, life satisfaction and relationship satisfaction.
