A sample of 38 young adult couples (N=76) (ages: 18-25yrs) was selected using snowball sampling method. Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEIQue) by Petrides K. V. (2009) was used to measure Trait Emotional Intelligence and Trait Emotional Expression and Relationship Assessment Scale (RAS) by Hendrick, Dicke (1998) was used to measure Relationship Satisfaction of the young adult couples.
