    Abstract: The theory of intrapersonal model maintains that an individual’s 
  personality traits can directly affect marital satisfaction. Although, an intrapersonal 
  model in its extreme version may suggest that the negative relationship between 
  characteristic anxieties and marital satisfaction is mediated by marital communication, 
  the interpersonal and intrapersonal models do not share the same limitations. 
  Any intrapersonal persuasion is most likely accompanied with interpersonal procedures. 
  This study tested the relationship between the five factor model of personality 
  (neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness and conscientiousness), 
  marital satisfaction and the risk of divorce. The participants completed NEO-FFI 
  and ENRICH and they were interviewed according to the OHI (Oral History Interview) 
  method. The results demonstrate that neuroticism is as a significant predictor 
  of marital satisfaction and the risk of divorce. In addition, such traits as 
  conscientiousness, agreeableness, extraversion and openness to experience can 
  help predict satisfaction in married couples.
