Abstract: Purpose: Parents’ myths about parenting are among factors affecting couples’ marital satisfaction. The present study aimed to investigate the association of parenting myths with marital satisfaction. Method: Parents of primary school students (3rd–5th grade) in Tehran, Iran, (n = 150) were recruited for the study via convenience sampling. Research tools included Seidi’s Parenting Myths Scale (2016) With 50 questions (? = .94) and ENRICH marital satisfaction scale(1998) with 47 questions . Multiple regression was used for data analysis. Results: significant association was found between parenting myths and marital satisfaction. In the best model, parent-child identity (? = -0.37), excessively calm parenting (? = 0.35), overemphasis on educational achievement (? = 0.28), separation of work and personal life (? = 0.22), and efficacy (? = 0.21) were best predictors of marital satisfaction. Conclusion: parenting myths affect marital satisfaction in different cultural contexts, which illustrates the role of culture and belief in each region on the satisfaction of families in that region.
