Abstract: The study was conducted to investigate the impact of psychological burden on marital satisfaction. Correlation research design was used to complete the study. Survey was designed as a method of data collection. Sample of 150 diabetic patients were selected through purposive sampling technique. Findings reveal that marital satisfaction is negatively correlated with psychological burden. Moreover psychological burden is a significant negative predictor of marital satisfaction. In addition, female diabetic patients reported the greater level of psychological burden and lower level of marital satisfaction as compared to male. Statistically significant difference was examined on psychological burden with respect to education of patients, type of diabetes, number of children and working status but there was no mean score difference associated with socio-economic status. The results of comparison on marital satisfaction related to patient’s education, type of diabetes, number of children, working status and patient’s socio-economic status were not statistically significant.
